Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel Description: The scene is set on a calm lake during twilight hours, with mountains in the background under a darkening sky. Two characters are sitting in a small boat.

Text Transcription:

• In the first part:
  "WELL, AT A CERTAIN POINT IN YOUR LIFE YOU CHANGE. YOU BECOME SOFTER, HAPPIER, AND NICER SMELLING, AND AT THE END OF THAT TRANSITION EVERYONE INDULGES YOU AND NOTHING HURTS."

• A speech bubble from the character in the boat (a child) exclaims:
  "HOORAY!"

• The adult character responds:
  "HOORAY? WAIT, OH MY GOD. OH JEEZ…"

Caption at the bottom:
"Inadvertently, Steve gives the puberty conversation in reverse."

Character Description:

• The child is wearing a yellow shirt and has short black hair.
• The adult is wearing a red shirt and has dark skin, with a puzzled expression.

The comic humorously tackles the theme of puberty with a light tone and visual elements that add to the context.
