Description

Here’s a detailed, accessible description of the comic:

Panel 1:

• A man with red hair and an orange shirt is holding out a ring while saying, “I’m prepared to marry, have children, and grow old together, but only if we can do it ironically.”
• A woman with dark hair and a light-colored shirt appears skeptical, looking at him with a unimpressed expression.

Panel 2:

• The woman replies with a dismissive “PFFT. SURE.”

Panel 3:

• The scene shifts to the man at a wedding, dressed in a tuxedo, with a bride in a white gown holding flowers. He cheerfully exclaims, “Guess who’s bourgeois now!”

Panel 4:

• The next image shows the couple at home, with the man in casual clothing and the woman with a baby on her lap. He comments sarcastically, “Another contribution to climate change!”

Panel 5:

• The scene changes again, and the man is dressed in a cap and gown, celebrating with two adults, while a woman next to him remarks, “Congrats on joining the cultural elites, kid.”

Panel 6:

• The man responds, “I really do love you, Jack.”
• A person nearby interrupts with, “Hey! You promised!”
• The atmosphere is a mix of humor and surprise.

Panel 7:

• The final panel has a gravestone with the inscription, “Death is so conformist.”
• Next to it, another gravestone reads, “Borne low by grief, but now back with her true love, or whatever.”
• The background is a pinkish sky contrasting the green grass.

The overall tone of the comic is ironic and humorous, playing with themes of societal expectations and personal relationships.
