A single-panel comic set in a backyard. A woman with dark curly hair and a yellow shirt is wide-eyed and frantic, exclaiming, "OH GOD. OH MY GOD. THE EASTER BUNNY. IT'S A MAMMAL THAT LAYS EGGS. IT'S A MONOTREME, JENNY. A MONOTREME." A red-haired woman in an orange shirt standing nearby replies flatly, "SO?" A rabbit's tail is visible in the grass between them. A one-word caption beneath the panel reads, "Cloaca." The joke: the Easter Bunny laying eggs would make it a monotreme like a platypus, an alarming biological reclassification the second woman finds unremarkable. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn wobbly black box framing the text, "(THIS CAPTION IMPROVES ANY NEW YORKER COMIC)," implying "Cloaca." works as a universal punchline.
