Panel 1:
Man with reddish hair in a suit: Did you know that sexual arousal reduces the disgust response in the human brain?
Woman with glasses: Okay, so?
Man: That's a little insulting, don't you think?
Panel 2:
Man: Like, when you have sex, your body also switches off all sorts of normal functions: flatulence, defecation, urination... When was the last time you produced rumbling burp mid-coitus?
Panel 3:
Man: Humans have to turn off our disgust reflex AND literally become less physically disgusting simply to perform our primary biological act!
Panel 4 (man raising both hands in the air):
(no dialogue)
Panel 5:
Man: Humans have been around 200,000 years and it's time for evolution to apologize!
Panel 6:
Woman: You're yelling at a concept as if it has some way to respond.
Man (pointing): Evolution should apologize for that too!
Votey:
Woman (off-panel, speech bubble): You left out the part where we spend 10% of our waking lives on some form of grooming.
(The man stares blankly, saying nothing.)

A six-panel black-and-white comic with a man in a suit (reddish hair) talking to a woman with glasses. He tells her that sexual arousal reduces the brain's disgust response, and declares this insulting. He elaborates that during sex the body also switches off normal functions like flatulence, defecation, and urination, asking when she last produced a rumbling burp mid-coitus. He complains that humans must both turn off their disgust reflex AND become less physically disgusting just to perform their primary biological act. Throwing his hands in the air, he demands that evolution apologize for the 200,000 years of human existence. She points out he's yelling at a concept that can't respond; he insists evolution should apologize for that too. Votey: the woman, in a speech bubble, adds that he left out the part where humans spend 10% of their waking lives on some form of grooming, while the man stares back blankly and speechless.
