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.

Against a blue background, purple, bubbly text reads, "Alone Together." Below the text, there are three images of a couple. One person has straight hair and the other has curly hair. The people are pink line drawings filled in with white. In the first image, the couple hold hands and walk together with a tiny pink heart between them. In the next image, the curly-haired person is pregnant and the straight-haired person leans down to listen to their belly. There is a tiny pink heart between them. In the last image, the couple hold their baby in the air. There are two, tiny pink hearts above them.
