A single-panel comic. An older woman with curly hair looks distressed as a younger woman beside her says, 'Mother, have you considered having unprotected sex with a male, today?' The older woman exclaims 'Charlotte!' while a third figure adds, 'It's just that you're at peak fertility around 4 o'clock this afternoon.' The caption below reads: 'I was beginning to regret having haplodiploid offspring' (haplodiploidy being the insect-like reproductive system, implying the daughters are managing their mother's mating like worker bees tending a queen). Votey: a crude line-drawing of a face with a speech bubble saying, 'Or just find some sperm! You do you!'
