A three-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: Two women, one with long red hair, walk through green woods filled with birdsong ("Tweet! Tweet!"), cricket chirps, and a faint "lalala." The red-haired woman says, "Isn't springtime glorious!" Panel 2: A loud frog croak ("CROOOAAK") sounds nearby. The red-haired woman, now holding a microphone-like device, says, "Let's put on our universal animal language translators!" Panel 3: She listens through the translator, and the once-pretty nature sounds are revealed as crude come-ons rendered with musical notes: "Do me, Do me!", "Ooooo me!", "Doo meee." The joke: birdsong is actually animals propositioning each other for mating. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of a frog with a speech bubble bluntly saying, "LET'S DOINK."
