A six-panel comic. A child asks their mother where babies come from; the mother replies 'The stork.' The child asks where baby storks come from; the mother replies 'Humanity.' The mother then explains, in increasingly dramatic close-ups of her face, that long ago each species stole reproduction from the other and they now live in mutual dependence, but one day humanity will find where the storks make babies, seize it, and wipe the storks out. In the final panel the child innocently asks, 'Then what's that naked wrestling thing you and Daddy do every Thursday night?' and the mother answers, 'Training for war.' Votey (aftercomic): a black-and-white drawing of two strained, grimacing faces pressed together, with a speech bubble reading 'NAKED WAR.'
