Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic's text presented in each panel:

Panel 1:

• Character 1 (with red hair): "Why do you think humans are so weak - so soft and defenseless?"
• Character 2 (wearing glasses): "We domesticated ourselves."

Panel 2:

• Character 1: "Once you have a ready supply of food, all the mate choice rewards go to evolution's dorkwads. People who can do accounting, tell jokes, make things."
• Character 2: "All the tall attractive people who know how to track down mountain lions or whatever… they’re out of a job."

Panel 3:

• Character 2: "Within a few generations you go from the equivalent of wolf to a collie. Another couple thousand years and you’re down to a weiner dog."
• Character 1: looks shocked

Panel 4:

• Character 2: "And, if you look at the typical behavior of a human being who got the wrong coffee, or is angry at someone on the internet, you will see we’ve reached the 'yappy lapdog' phase of human history."

Panel 5:

• Character 1: "If you’ve ever wondered why everyone is miserable, imagine an entire society of lapdogs who've recently realized nobody is taking care of them but each other."
• Character 2: "This is hell."

This comic humorously explores the topic of human domestication and societal behaviors using a comparison to dog breeds.
