Comic #7096: happiness-4
Description
Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
Panel 1:
- A man with short hair and a grey jacket asks, "Why do economists only care about GDP? How about we start measuring happiness?"
- A woman with green hair and a light-colored shirt responds with a surprised expression, “Happiness? Of humans?”
Panel 2:
- The woman continues, “The species that watches a collective 40 centuries of kicked-in-the-balls videos per day for the sheer joy of it?”
Panel 3:
- The man, looking contemplative, says, “You’re talking about the species that takes children to public executions? Those humans?”
Panel 4:
- The woman, with a serious expression, asks, “Well, what metric is any better?”
- She then concludes, “We should be maximizing shame.”
Overall, the comic humorously critiques the idea of measuring happiness by highlighting the dark and absurd traits of human behavior.
