@katina.cooper: Exactly. The first time I read this one, I laughed heartily, just as I do with every Poorly Drawn Lines strip. My first take was that Reza intended the girl to realize that there was no point to adults.
The second time I read it, ‘making babies’ was the immediately obvious answer……which kind of negates the joke. It’s either religion or science or both; the point is producing offspring/be fruitful and multiply. It may describe something close to perpetual motion, but it’s not funny.(honestly, I don’t over-analyze all comics like this!),
