In a two panel comic, a young queer tells their friends that they'll meet them at the club after they have dinner with some other friends. The friends say no problem, but ask why does this queer hang out with lesbians in their 30s? It's because they give great life advice. In the second panel, the same young queer is flanked by two lesbians in their 30s, teaching them how to avoid phone calls from their mother.
