Description

Here’s the transcription of the text in the comic:

Panel 1:

• Character 1: "I know it’s only our first date, and maybe this’ll sound forward, but I want to express that if we were to mate I would be a powerful provider of food and a defeater of foes."

Panel 2:

• Character 2: "In the modern world, foes are few and calories are cheap."
• Character 1: "Oh hell, who told girls about that?"

Panel 3:

• Character 2: "Your mating approach really isn’t suited to modern life. Have you considered offering debt forgiveness? Healthcare? Rent-controlled housing?"

Panel 4:

• Character 1: "But I don’t have scarce resources! Just regular ones!"
• Character 2: "Then good day to you, sir."

This accurately captures the dialogue and context of the comic.
