Description
Here’s the transcription of the text from the comic:
Panel 1:
- Carol: According to this study, you should take me out of the friend zone and put me in the lover zone.
Panel 2:
- Steve: Wow, really? That actually contradicts a hypothesis of mine.
Panel 3:
- Carol: This is interesting. I might have to reassess WHAAT!?
Panel 4:
- Steve: Who funded this study!?
Panel 5:
- Carol: How dare you!? It doesn’t matter who funded it! It’s a peer-reviewed study!
Panel 6:
- Steve: This was published in the “Journal of Carol Should Do Me."
Panel 7:
- Carol: Which is a legitimate journal of psychology.
Panel 8:
- Steve: How come it’s clearly a copy of popular science with this one article stuck in it and a hand-drawn cover?
Panel 9:
- Carol: Uhh, it’s called recycling!
Panel 10:
- Steve: Subsequently…
Panel 11:
- Voiceover: The journal wishes to issue a retraction…
Panel 12:
- Carol: Errata from last issue: The authors of “Carol Should Do” & Steve (that's me) could not possibly have been that ridiculous and should be removed from the journal.
Panel 13:
- Carol: STEVE…
Panel 14:
- Carol: MY HYPOTHESIS WAS RIGHT!
