The main panel is a parody of a New York Times opinion webpage. Under the Times masthead and the labels OPINION / GUEST ESSAY runs the headline 'Space Billionaires Should Spend More Time Thinking About Sex,' dated Nov. 5, 2023. Beneath it is a photo of two rockets streaking upward through a dark, starry sky. Scrawled over the page in red marker are excited handwritten notes: 'Holy crap!', 'By me and Kelly!', and 'click to read!' with an arrow, as if the cartoonist is thrilled to have an essay published in the Times. In the votey, a handwritten note reads: 'Thanks everyone. I never thought I'd get to the New York Times, though. Admittedly, if I *had* thought about it, this would've seemed like the right illustration' jokingly suggesting the two rockets are a fitting (innuendo-laden) image for an essay about space billionaires and sex.
