In "Masters And Slaves," Skyler tries to convince Nikki that motherhood isn’t for her by arranging a hands-on test: babysitting a rambunctious fourteen-month-old for a day. Written by Robin Lane and illustrated by Dennis Clark—with inks and letters also by Clark—this issue captures the chaotic, sleep-deprived reality of early parenting through a tense, character-driven moment. The cover by Phil Morrissey perfectly frames the scene’s emotional stakes.

In "The Stork Brief," Skyler tries to convince Nikki that motherhood isn’t for her by arranging a no-nonsense babysitting stint with a famously fussy fourteen-month-old. The story unfolds with wry humor and the kind of awkward charm only a well-meaning prank can deliver.
