A comic titled "WEIGHT LOSS FLOWCHART!" drawn on a blue and green background. A four-box flowchart: an orange box reading "YOU'RE SO DAMN FAT" has arrows leading right to a yellow "SUICIDE" box and down to a yellow "DIET AND EXERCISE" box. Both "SUICIDE" and "DIET AND EXERCISE" point to a pink box reading "YOU'RE NOT FAT ANYMORE!" — the dark joke being that both paths reach the same end state. Caption below: "I told my wife I found the chart a bit insulting. At this point, she noted that I was correct, but also 'so damn fat.'" Votey: a sketchy close-up of a man lying down under a caption "Reading this 10 years later..."; he says in a speech bubble, "This is awful and a bad flowchart."
