View Original Comic

Description

The comic features two stick figure characters and a graph with two labeled axes.

Left Axis:

• Title: "USE OF ADVERBS THAT MEAN 'TO A GREAT EXTENT.'"

Bottom Axis:

• Title: "HOW MAD YOUR SPOUSE IS AT YOU"

Text in the comic:

1. The first stick figure (on the left) is gesturing with one hand and saying:
   • "DID YOU REALLY, ACTUALLY, SERIOUSLY, UTTERLY, COMPLETELY FORGET THE STOVE WAS TOTALLY ENTIRELY LEFT ON?"
2. The second stick figure (on the right) responds with:
   • "MY GOD. I’D BETTER SLEEP WITH A KNIFE TONIGHT."

The graph line rises sharply to indicate a correlation between the use of adverbs and the level of anger from the spouse.
