Description
Here’s the transcription of the comic:
Panel 1: Character 1 (with yellow hair) says: "First off, congratulations on your election and consultation on your defeat."
Panel 2: Character 1 continues: "Now, of course, one of the problems with democracy is that everyone votes, but only the largest bloc gets their person elected."
Panel 3: Character 1 adds: "Fortunately, we now have the technology to blend your genetics and phenotypes into one individual, with the gene expression from each of you corresponding to the percentage of the votes assigned to each issue."
Panel 4: Character 2 (with a confused expression) says: "What?" Character 3 (with a serious expression) replies: "I'm not sure I—"
Panel 5: Character 2: "Hey! Do you want 50% of the people to feel disenfranchised? Huh? Evodevocacy is the fairest form of government yet devised. Do you want people to rebel when their votes don’t matter?"
Panel 6: Character 1 says: "No… I guess not…"
Panel 7: Character 1: "Good! Now, strip and step into the combination chamber."
Panel 8: A caption reads: "SOON…"
Panel 9: Character 1 (inside a chamber) says: "Suckers! None of that even made sense!"
Panel 10: Character 1 continues laughing: "Hahahaha!"
Panel 11: A character (with a worried expression) says: "Maybe I should’ve paid more attention in science class."
Panel 12: Another character (looking concerned) replies: "Yeah…"
