A single-panel comic. On the left, a woman with dark hair reads from a phone and says, "According to this, in ten years, there will be robots that shovel snow, take the trash out, and do the dishes." On the right, a man with spiky flame-like orange hair grabs his head in anguish, eyes squeezed shut, and exclaims, "WHAT?! But... then why... why did we... OH GOD!" A caption below reads: "I'm beginning to reconsider parenthood." The joke: the couple apparently had children to do these chores, and the prospect of robots taking over makes the man realize the kids were unnecessary. Votey (aftercomic): a rough black-and-white sketch of two adults standing together with a small, glum-looking child beside them.
