Description

Here is the transcription of the text from the comic panels:

Panel 1: Text: THE GENE PERSPECTIVE OF EVOLUTION SAYS YOU'RE BASICALLY A MULE FOR GENETIC CODE.
Speech Bubble: HYA.

Panel 2: Text: IT'S DISTRESSING, BUT IT DOES EXPLAIN THE PROFUSION OF BEHAVIORS THAT BENEFIT YOUR GENES WHILE SCREWING YOU.
Speech Bubble (Yellow Character): I DON'T LIKE THIS GUY. HE'S TOO AGGRESSIVE. MAYBE I'LL JUST HAVE A LITTLE SEX WITH HIM.

Panel 3: Text: YOUR PERSONAL GENETIC SEQUENCE WILL PROBABLY NEVER BE MORE THAN A SHORT DISTANCE FROM YOUR BODY.
Text Box: Lₛ = SPERM LIFESPAN: ~1 hr
Sₗ = JETLINER MAX SPEED: ~600 mi/hr
Lₛ * Sₗ = 600 mi*
(Roughly the distance to your mom's house.)

Panel 4: Text: BUT, MANY OF THE SEQUENCES IN YOUR GENOME WILL SOMEDAY ARRIVE ON FAR AWAY PLANETS IN DISTANT GALAXIES, HEEDLESS OF THE RIDE YOU GAVE IT MILLENIA AGO.
Speech Bubble: HYA.

Panel 5: Text: OR YOU COULD JUST GET STERILIZED.
Speech Bubble: HEY! STOP THAT! IT'S MEANINGLESS NOW!
