Description

Sure! Here’s a transcription of the text from the comic:

Panel 1:
Person 1: "Babies are so weird." Person 2: "They’ll cry and cry, like it’s the end of the world. Then, you find out they want a certain toy and you give it to them, and they’re immediately happy! Like nothing happened."

Panel 2:
Person 2: "What would you do different?" Person 1: "If I got upset because I wanted something, then suddenly got it, I think I’d feel really good, but I’d pretend to still be sad in order to not appear shallow."

Panel 3:
Person 1: "I’d change my apparent emotional state slowly, so people wouldn’t think I was faking it earlier."

Panel 4:
Person 1: "And then, I’d act particularly stoical during my subsequent social interactions to make up for the display of weakness that was necessary to secure my goal."

Panel 5:
Person 2: "You shouldn’t have told me that. I won’t take your future outbursts seriously."

Panel 6:
Person 1: "WAAAAH!"
