TEXT OF COMIC:

Why aren't you dating any boys, Abby? One of these days you should get married and have children, you know.

I'm only in college, Mom! And even if I do get married someday, I'm never having children.

Don't be silly. Nobody can be happy without having children.

Don't I know best whether I'd be happy having them?

You'll change your mind.

No I won't. If I ever get the amount of money it takes to raise a kid, I'm going to donate it to save thousands of lives-- not waste it on creating one new life.

Oh, don't be ridiculous. You would never deprive your mother of grandchildren, would you?

You wouldn't like having grandchildren. Nobody wants to feel old. And nothing makes you feel older than having grandchildren.

Don't I know best whether I want grandchildren?

You'll change your mind.
