Description

Sure! Here is the transcription of the text from the comic:

Panel 1: CAMUS WROTE "THERE IS BUT ONE TRULY SERIOUS PHILOSOPHICAL PROBLEM, AND THAT IS SUICIDE. JUDGING WHETHER LIFE IS OR IS NOT WORTH LIVING AMOUNTS TO ANSWERING THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION OF PHILOSOPHY."

Panel 2: WE PROPOSE A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM: EVOLUTION.
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT OVERCOME BY THE EXISTENTIAL CONUNDRUM WILL BE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE OFFSPRING.

Panel 3: OVER TIME, THERE WILL BE FEWER AND FEWER EXISTENTIALISTS. EVENTUALLY, THE IDEA THAT THERE IS SUCH A CONUNDRUM WILL NO LONGER HAVE LODGING IN THE HUMAN PSYCHE.

Panel 4: SO, THE "PROBLEM OF SUICIDE" IS MORE LIKE THE "NUISANCE OF SUICIDE": IT'S AN ITCH THAT TIME WILL SCRATCH FOR OUR DESCENDANTS. SO, AT LEAST IN THE BROAD SENSE OF "HUMAN," IT CAN'T BE SAID TO BE PART OF "THE HUMAN CONDITION."

Panel 5: SOME WOMEN ARE ATTRACTED TO DEPRESSED PHILOSOPHICAL TYPES.

Panel 6: THEN WE ARE FOREVER DOOMED.
SO… HOT!
