Comic Strip Title: "Selective Breeding"

Summary:

The comic strip revolves around a family's decision to practice selective breeding for thousands of generations, resulting in males with no biometric impression. The conversation begins with a woman expressing her family's goal, which is met with skepticism by a man who asks why they would want to produce offspring with no pulse, fingerprints, or DNA. The woman responds by asking "why not?" and the conversation ends abruptly. The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of the family's decision and the man's incredulity.
