Description

Here’s the transcribed text from the comic:

Panel 1:
"This presentation is about the question of whether animal altruism exists."

Panel 2:
"I spent many hours doing research for this presentation, knowing full well that it would have no noticeable benefit for my career."

Panel 3:
"I was not paid to do it. No potential mates will be impressed by it. I will gain no social status for having done it. It is purely a gift to the scientific community."

Panel 4:
"Thus, the existence of this presentation about altruism proves the existence of animal altruism. Thank you."

Panel 5:
"What a great presentation!"

Panel 6:
"Stop that!"
