Description

Here's a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic:

Panel 1: A person with short, reddish-brown hair and a slightly anxious expression is speaking. They say, "God, why does being alone make me sad?" A ghostly figure, representing a thought or spirit, replies with laughter, "Hahaha, oh that." The background shows a simple room with a bed and a dimly lit space.

Panel 2: The scene shifts to a more spacious part of the room. The character is standing, looking out towards two virtual figures (symbolizing social media). The text reads, "Evolution made it so the longer you're isolated the more you perceive your status to have declined."

Panel 3: Continuing in the same space, the character is depicted looking thoughtful. The dialogue states, "When you meet peers who are just as schlubby and bewildered as you, your status recalibrates to average and you are happy."

Panel 4: The comic contains a humorous commentary where the character asserts, "The funniest thing is that social media – which was created by humans! – lowers self-esteem faster while reducing access to genuine friendship!"

Panel 5: The character looks back with a frown and adds, "That's not funny, it's just sad."

Panel 6: In the final panel, a different figure (appear to be a friend) exclaims, "Well, it killed up here, Todd. It absolutely killed." The humor contrasts with the earlier serious tone, highlighting the irony.

The setting retains a cozy but melancholic atmosphere, with muted colors and simple furniture, emphasizing the themes of isolation and social perception.
