Description

The comic is a graph with the following elements:

• Vertical Axis (Y-axis): Labeled "Belief that love is a sublime wonder beyond comprehension that is our only way of finding light in a sea of darkness."
• Horizontal Axis (X-axis): Labeled "Quality as a longterm significant other."

There is a curve that starts high on the left and gradually decreases towards the right.

• Points along the curve are labeled:
  • "High Schooler" (top left)
  • "Virgin over age 30"
  • "Poet"
  • "Doctor"
  • "Lawyer"
  • "Professor"
  • "Porn" (bottom right)

The graph implies a relationship between the belief in love and the perceived quality of potential long-term partners.
