I can't seem to locate the episode, but I have to say that the first panel of this strip reminds me of the set from an episode of Quantum Leap wherein Sam has to deliver a baby (and no, Google, I don't mean he delivers a baby himself, as the woman. Gah). In the episode, he's on, I think, a military base, and ends up "inventing" some method of getting the woman slightly drunk for delivery, which was apparently common in the future but not yet known at the time of his leap. But I understand zero things about how babies work, and that includes the methodologies of extraction from the host, so forgive me if I've gotten some of the details wrong in that description.
So the subject matter was similar too, and it makes me wonder if the similarity in appearance of setting is not a coincidence...
