An eight-panel SMBC comic. Two ninjas, one in purple and one in dark red, are each shown running across a moonlit field in separate panels. A split close-up shows both their masked faces glaring with intense, dramatic determination, as if about to fight. They leap toward each other through the air with arms outstretched, then collide and embrace in mid-air under the moon. Afterward they part ways, walking off in opposite directions. The final panel reveals the punchline: a large red ninja sits in an armchair reading a pink book labeled "SEX" to a small green child ninja, who recoils saying "Ewww..." — the dramatic ninja battle was actually a depiction of ninja sex/conception. The votey (bonus panel) shows a single sperm cell colored dark navy with a ninja-style mask slit across its head, so the sperm itself looks like a tiny ninja.
