Description
Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
Panel 1:
- A horizontal line runs across the top, labeled "my life."
- The line dips down slightly in the middle, creating a gentle curve.
Panel 2:
- A similar horizontal line appears, indicating yet another "my life."
- Above this line is a curve that represents "our relationship," which dips at the center and rises at the ends.
Panel 3:
- Another horizontal line labeled "modern human history" spans the width at the top of the panel.
- This line also dips down slightly in the middle, mimicking the previous lines.
Panel 4:
- A graph depicts four sections with colored boxes:
- A green box labeled "OK FOR ME TO SCREW SOMEONE ELSE"
- A yellow box labeled "PROBABLY OK FOR ME TO SCREW SOMEONE ELSE"
- An orange box labeled "NOT OKAY"
- The green section is the longest.
Panel 5:
- Below the line labeled "modern human history," two characters are depicted.
- A man on the left is smiling, while a woman on the right looks frustrated.
- The woman has a speech bubble that says, “HOW ABOUT WE HOLD OFF ON DECIDING THESE RULES UNTIL AFTER YOU'VE FIGURED OUT HOW TO BUILD A TIME MACHINE?”
- The man replies in a speech bubble, "BUT I NEED TO KNOW NOW."
This comic humorously illustrates the complexities of personal and relational rules through simple visual metaphors and character dialogue.
