A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A worried young boy with red hair runs up shouting, "Dad! Dad! Mom was making terrible moaning sounds in the night! What happened?" Panel 2: His red-haired father, looking awkward, stammers, "Oh, uh, that uh... she was... very sad about something?" Panel 3: The boy, still distressed, says, "She was sad three different times!" Panel 4: The father, now wearing a smug, narrow-eyed expression, replies, "Oh yes." The joke is that the moaning was sex, which the dad is privately proud of while pretending to his child that she was crying. Votey (aftercomic): A loosely drawn smiling face of the dad with the caption, "The key is to start by sending some sad messages in the afternoon," implying he set up the cover story of her sadness in advance.
