Description

The comic features a simple graph with the title:

"ALL LIFE STAGES EXPLAINED WITH ONE VARIABLE:"

On the vertical axis, labeled "HOW WELL YOU KNOW HOW TO BE THE AGE YOU CURRENTLY ARE," there is a steep, almost vertical line starting from the lower end around age 10, rising sharply and then leveling off.

On the horizontal axis, labeled "YOUR AGE," ages are marked from 10 to 100.

The graph shows the following trend:

• At ages around 10 and younger, the knowledge of how to be that age is extremely low.
• As the age increases through the teenage years and into the twenties, the line rises sharply.
• After reaching the mid-20s, the growth in knowledge plateaus but continues to rise gradually through older age.

Overall, it humorously conveys the idea that people tend to learn how to handle their age better as they grow older, but the steep learning curve is primarily evident early on in life.
