A six-panel SMBC comic. The first five panels, on a red background, show two praying mantises mating. The mantis on top moans, "Oh baby yeah. Yeah, this is so hot. Oh God yeah." In close-up, the first mantis says, "Okay now eat my head." The other replies, "What? Eat your head?" The first insists, "Eat my head!" "Why?" "It'll be so hot." The second mantis leans in and says, "Oh God yes" — referencing how female mantises sometimes cannibalize their mate's head during sex. Final panel cuts to a mother standing with her unhappy young daughter beside a tabletop terrarium tank labeled "Praying Mantis Kit"; the mother says, "Let's get you an ant farm," implying the kit's mantis behavior was too disturbing. Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): two people lie close together intimately. One says, "You're gonna put a 'head' pun in the votey, aren't you?" The other answers, "Not now...", winking at the double meaning of giving head.
