A hand-drawn box (in the style of a Far Side single-panel comic) containing only text.

An underwater scene with sandy seafloor and bits of seaweed. A purple starfish lies near a red starfish and says in a speech bubble: "I'd much rather clone myself via fragmentation. I'm only sleeping with you because we're in a resource-poor environment, so don't go bragging to your friends." The joke: the starfish frames sexual reproduction as a grudging, embarrassing fallback to asexual cloning. Votey: a plain hand-drawn box, evoking a Far Side panel, containing only the text "I miss you, Gary Larson" — a tribute to the deadpan-animal humor of cartoonist Gary Larson.
