Description

Here’s the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1:

• Person on couch: "Doc, you ever feel like you're just a cog in a vast machine?"
• Therapist: "No. 'Cog' implies purpose and order. 'Vast' implies that any of this is important."

Panel 2:

• Person on couch: "I prefer 'gunk growing on a dying shrub.'"

Panel 3:

• Therapist: "Accepting pointlessness is weirdly good for my anxiety."

Panel 4:

• Therapist: "No one who cares about you will be alive in 100 years."
