steg

A six-panel SMBC comic. A doctor wearing a head mirror tells a red-haired woman, "I'm afraid I have some hard news, ma'am." She says "What?" He replies, "You're stegnant." She asks, "Stegnant?" He clarifies, "Pregnant with Steve's child." She says, "Steve is my husband," and the doctor answers, "Yes, that appears to be the cause of the stegnancy." The joke is that the doctor keeps mangling "pregnant" into "stegnant" by blending in the husband's name, Steve. The doctor begins, "This is a personal choice but if you wish to sterminate your stegnan—" when a man (Steve) interrupts from the side shouting in bold text, "I'm right here!" In the final panel the woman glares in angry close-up and snaps, "Steven, haven't you done enough?" Votey (aftercomic): a single panel of a wide-mouthed face with a man's voice asking, "Is it a stirl or a stoy?" — the same Steve-mangled wordplay applied to "girl or boy."
