A two-panel SMBC comic. Main panel: A child with reddish-brown hair asks their mother, who has light brown hair and glasses and is seen from behind, 'At what point did you throw up the most when you were pregnant with me?' The mother replies, 'In the weeks leading up to fertilization.' A caption below reads: 'Sometimes I'm glad Mom and Dad split up.' The joke is that the mother is saying sex with the father was so nauseating it made her vomit, implying she disliked him even before conceiving. Votey (small aftercomic): The mother grins slyly while the child looks down, embarrassed. The mother says, 'Hey, you quoted me!' — revealing the child had unknowingly repeated the mother's own insult about the father.
