A small four-legged early-whale ancestor (a Pakicetus, drawn somewhat awkwardly) walks along the sandy shore of a blue ocean inlet with mountains and an orange sky behind it. A large thought bubble over its head reads: "OH GOD. OH MY GOD. WELL, SANDY CAUGHT ME LOOKING AT HER WHILE HUMPING A MANGO. I'M NEVER GONNA LIVE THIS DOWN. INTO THE OCEAN I GO." A caption beneath the panel reads: "Fun fact: Whales evolved in order to avoid awkwardness." The votey (after-comic) is a handwritten note titled "ANIMALS I CAN'T DRAW:" listing CAT, DOG, HORSE, BIRD, and PAKICETUS — a self-deprecating joke about the artist's inability to draw the creature in the main panel.
