How the cover
getsmade
①
“This week we’re talking
about how Americans
aren’t making babies
during the pandemic.
The future of the
economy is at risk!”
“Wow, this is too easy.”
②“Close, just not the
procreation part.”
“Something more
prophylactic, perhaps?”
③“No. Just ... no. Let’s
focus on the babies.”
④“Whoa. That got really
dark really fast.”
“I’ve got it! A sperm and
an egg on a love seat,
but not making love.”
“Yep, this looks like my
life right now.”
