Description

The comic features a graph with the following elements:

• The vertical axis is labeled "SPECIALNESS OF INDIVIDUALS."
• The horizontal axis is labeled "WORLD POPULATION."
• The graph itself shows a curve that slopes downward from left to right, indicating that as the world population increases, the perceived specialness of individuals decreases.

There are two annotations on the graph:

1. A point marked "YOU" is positioned slightly above the lower part of the curve.
2. A point marked "YOU NEXT YEAR" is positioned even lower, closer to the horizontal axis.

The overall message humorously suggests that as more individuals exist, the uniqueness or specialness of any single person diminishes.
