Main comic, one panel: An older woman with glasses (Grammy) and a younger woman with dark hair stand in a green field full of flowering plants. A caption reads 'Every time I see these petals, it reminds me of Grampa.' Grammy says 'Long as his thigh!' while the younger woman, looking pained, says 'Please stop.' A bottom caption reads 'Pro tip: never walk in Grammy's field of Orchis italica.' (Orchis italica, the 'naked man orchid,' has flowers shaped like tiny nude human figures.) Votey: A close-up of an older man's wistful face. He says 'Look! ...It's like Phallus impudicus! ...It's like he's still here, waiting for me.' (Phallus impudicus is the common stinkhorn, a notoriously phallic mushroom.) The joke: both relatives find suggestively-shaped wild organisms that remind them, fondly and embarrassingly, of a departed loved one's anatomy.
