genetics

A five-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: An excited man with orange hair says, "Did you know that if you're a twin, and you and your twin marry other twins, then your twin's kids are just as related to you as your own kids would be?!" Panel 2: A dark-haired woman replies flatly, "Why do you keep bringing this up?" Panel 3: Looking annoyed, she insists, "I'm Jeanie!" Panel 4: The orange-haired man, undeterred, says, "We could make our siblings do all the work, Janey!" Panel 5: The woman, exasperated, shouts at him, "Why is it always semantics with you?!" The joke: he's so fixated on the genetic-relatedness idea that he can't even be bothered to remember which of the (twin) women he's talking to is his actual partner, treating her identity as a mere 'semantic' detail. Votey: A close-up of a man's deadpan face with the caption, "Read some genetics."
