Description
Here's the transcription of the comic text:
Panel 1:
- Character 1: "Bobby, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
- Character 2: "I want the highest status, the best-quality mates, and the most offspring."
Panel 2:
- Character 2: "I can either achieve this through raising myself up or by lowering everyone else down."
Panel 3:
- Character 2: "As population expands, primacy through the first path becomes impossible."
- Character 2: "Primacy through the second path—the path of all death—is merely improbable."
Panel 4:
- Character 3: "That's nice, Bobby, but what job do you want?"
- Character 2: "Quantitative finance!"
