A six-panel SMBC comic. Two men, an older one with glasses and a younger bearded one, stand observing a bonobo reserve. The older man welcomes the kid to his first semester. The younger gushes that bonobos are amazing, like a perfected human society: no war, no class division, focused entirely on the physical expression of love. A bonobo voice from the bushes replies 'SURE DO,' shown in an inset of an ape peering out from foliage. As they keep watching, they narrate increasingly disturbing sexual scenes: one bonobo humping her uncle, grandma giving a reacharound, the kids watching and 'not just watching.' Deadpan, the young man asks 'Can I go home now?' The older man answers 'Not mentally, no.' Votey: A close-up of a woman in glasses telling the bearded man 'You really can't draw animals.' He replies, 'People are animals.'
