A five-panel comic showing a conversation between a woman with long hair and a man with glasses. Panel 1: She asks, 'Does it bother you that I'm the primary household breadwinner?' He replies, 'No. Does it bother you?' Panel 2: She asks why it would bother her; he says economic theory holds that you pay an opportunity cost whenever you choose one possibility over another. Panel 3: He explains that when they have sex, each is choosing sex over work, and notes she makes $100 per hour while he makes $10 per hour. Panel 4: He concludes she is willing to pay $100 for an hour of sex with him, while he is only willing to pay $10 for an hour of sex with her. Panel 5: She says, 'This wasn't the conversation I was hoping for,' and he answers, 'Really? Because you're paying a lot for it.' Votey aftercomic: a close-up of the woman looking unimpressed as she says, 'So, sex with you costs three dollars?'
