Description

The comic presents a graph with the following elements:

  1. Y-Axis Label: "ESTEEM FOR HUMANITY WHILE READING AN ARTICLE ON POSITIVE RACE RELATIONS"
  2. X-Axis Label: "DEPTH IN ARTICLE"
  3. Graph Line: A red line that rises sharply toward the top right and then drops abruptly.
  4. Marked Points on the Graph:
    • "HEADLINE" at the left, where the graph begins low.
    • "FIRST HALF" slightly above the headline, showing a slow rise.
    • "SECOND HALF" where the line continues to rise, indicating increasing esteem.
    • "LAST PARAGRAPH" where the line peaks.
    • "COMMENTS" at the top right, where the line drops sharply, indicating a decline in esteem.

The overall impression conveys that initial optimism or esteem from reading the headline grows through the article, only to sharply decline after engaging with comments.
