A single-panel comic. A crowd of cheering people with raised arms stands before a robed figure seen from behind at a lectern, as if arriving at the gates of heaven. The caption reads: "Before entering heaven, you have to personally apologize to every gamete you didn't use." Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the stern, weathered face of the gatekeeper figure, who says, "DEFINE USE." The joke: the daunting prospect of apologizing to every unused egg or sperm cell, undercut by the gatekeeper's ominous demand to clarify what counts as having "used" a gamete.
