Description

Here is a transcription of the text from the comic:

Top Panel: "The Law of Computer Bloat says that, no matter how fast a CPU goes, new software will have so much unnecessary crap that your computer will never run as fast as it could."

• There is a graph with two lines:
  • Red line labeled "Processing Speed"
  • Blue line labeled "Bloat"
  • There is also a notation for "PRODUCTIVITY GAP" along the blue line.

Bottom Panel: "Of course… it's not as sad as the Law of Porno Bloat."

• There is another graph with two lines:
  • Red line labeled "Available hours of porno"
  • Blue line labeled "Maximum human lifespan"
  • Similar notation for "PRODUCTIVITY GAP" along the red line.

Both graphs are plotted against "Time" on the horizontal axis.
