A six-panel SMBC comic. A woman with long dark hair walks outdoors past big sunflowers, one of which has a bee on it, and muses: "Wouldn't it be nice to be a bee? Your life is spent going from flower to flower, spreading their love, helping them reproduce." A man with glasses is now beside her. She adds: "Humans are like that, just for STDs." In the darkened final panels the two are shown as white silhouettes. The man, surprised, says: "Huh. I thought for sure you were gonna refer to, like... roses or orchids or something." The woman replies: "...They can survive without us! Crabs cannot!" Votey (bonus panel): a loose sketch of a grinning face that says, "On an unrelated note, whatcha doin' tonight?" — the woman's grim point about being a vector for crab lice doubling as a flirty come-on.
