Description

Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: Child: "Mommy, what's a 'size zero?'"

Panel 2: Adult: "Size zero is a term for the size of a woman's clothing. Clothing sizes have to do with the circumference of the wearer."

Panel 3: Adult: "In cylindrical coordinates, a size zero has a zero radius, making all angles effectively the same."

Panel 4: Adult: "So, size zero women exist in one dimension of space given by her height."

Panel 5: Child: "Huh."

Panel 6: Adult: "Either that or women's sizing metrics are absurd."

Panel 7: Child: "I see."
