A four-panel comic featuring two green-skinned aliens observing humans. Panel 1: the aliens say their zoologists discovered that humans are attracted to silk undergarments. Panel 2: looking at a screen, they explain that to accelerate copulation they have covered these garments and replaced 50% of the humans' air with it. Panel 3: a red-haired woman and a man are shown choking and gasping in distress, making sounds 'HRGGKK!' and 'GCKHHG!' Panel 4: an alien calmly concludes, 'I believe that's their mating call.' The joke is that the aliens have unknowingly suffocated the humans, mistaking their death throes for mating behavior. Votey: a close-up of an alien face saying, 'They must be done since they're sleeping' — cluelessly interpreting the now-unconscious (dead) humans as having finished mating.
