A six-panel SMBC comic. A woman in a white bonnet and old-fashioned gray dress faces a large green frog. The frog says, "Kiss me and I'll turn into a prince and marry you!" A silhouette panel shows the woman kissing the frog. The frog remains a frog and says, "Just to be clear, prince is a political status not a physical one." The woman, dismayed, says "Ah." She starts, "I just thought—" and the frog, now looking irritated, snaps, "You thought social class was genetic? You're the one with the problem lady!" The woman holds up her hands and says, "Okay okay, not so loud, I'll marry you!" The small frog, on a stump, replies, "Hope you like external fertilization!" Votey: a rough sketch of the woman's sour face saying, "You got lucky."
