A six-panel SMBC comic with all-black backgrounds; two people are having sex (doggy style, so they face away from each other) and converse only through speech bubbles, the partner in yellow bubbles and the other person in blue bubbles. Panel 1: the yellow speaker asks "What are you doing back there?" The blue speaker stammers "I..." Yellow: "Are you juggling?" Blue: "Uh..." Panel 2: Yellow: "You can't juggle while we have sex!" Blue: "Juggling is how I stretch things out! It's how I last longer!" Panel 3: Yellow: "Can't you just think about sports or whatever to last longer?" Blue: "It's doggy style! This is my private time back here and I am using it productively and well!" Panel 4 is silent. Panel 5: Blue speaker says in French "Je voudrais un croissant" (I would like a croissant). Yellow: "Are you doing your French language app?" Blue insists "This is my private time!" The joke: the person is multitasking self-improvement (juggling, then a language-learning app) during sex because their position gives them unsupervised "private time." Votey: a single speech bubble reads "Non monsieur" (No, sir) — a final dismissive French reply, riffing on the language-app gag.
