Panel 1:

Panel 2:
Man: Wait, it has a functioning renal system? Where does the urine go?
Woman: It's sterile, so the foetus just ingests it.
Panel 3:
Man: So... our baby is in such a hostile environment, it has to drink its own piss to survive?
Panel 4:

A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A pregnant woman sits reading a book and says, "According to this, our baby has kidneys as of this week." Panel 2: A man asks, "Wait, it has a functioning renal system? Where does the urine go?" The woman replies, "It's sterile, so the foetus just ingests it." Panel 3: The man, now wide-eyed, says, "So... our baby is in such a hostile environment, it has to drink its own piss to survive?" Panel 4: Overcome with emotion, the man clutches the woman's shirt, tears in his eyes, and declares, "What a badass." Votey (aftercomic): A black-and-white drawing of a fetus curled in the womb. Caption above reads "RENAL SYSTEM FUNCTIONING" and caption below reads "BETTER DRINK MY OWN PISS," imagining the fetus's tough-guy inner monologue.
