A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A distressed red-haired young woman tells an older dark-haired woman, "I don't know how I got pregnant! You told me to use a condom if I want sex, and I did!" Panel 2, under a banner reading "EARLIER...": In a school hallway of lockers, the same red-haired woman holds up a condom in a pink wrapper to a brown-haired boy in a red shirt and says, "Hey, I'll trade you this condom for sex." The joke: she literally used the condom as currency to obtain sex rather than as contraception. Votey aftercomic: a crude black-and-white face. An off-panel voice asks "Do you have birth control?" and the face replies, "Oh yeah. Tons of it." — implying a similarly large stockpile that is, again, not being used as intended.
