A two-row SMBC comic contrasting illness before and after having kids. Top row labeled 'BEFORE HAVING KIDS': a long-haired person holds a tissue to their nose and says, 'I sneezed today. I think I'm sick,' and a short-haired woman in glasses lovingly replies, 'Let me get you some tea.' Bottom row labeled 'AFTER KIDS': the now-haggard woman in glasses, on her way out the door, asks, 'I'm going to work. You okay?' The long-haired partner, looking utterly drained with two small children clinging to them, answers, 'Only puking out of my mouth so far, so thumbs up.' Votey: a close-up of the weary woman with her eyes closed, with the caption 'GODSPEED, HUSBAND. MAY WE MEET ONCE MORE,' as if sending him off into battle.
