Panel 1:
A man with red hair and stubble reclines on a green couch in a dimly lit room, looking unhappy. A laptop and a handheld game device sit on a table in front of him. A large thought bubble rises from his head.
Thought bubble: "I WANT TO MASTURBATE BUT I HAVE TO PEE! AND I WANT TO PEE, BUT I HAVE TO MASTURBATE!"
Caption (below panel): Logicians refer to this as the "Get a Job" Paradox.
Votey:
A handwritten note on paper reads:
"Dear Zach,
Technically, that's not a paradox. I'm pointing this out because I'm a lonely Internet-addicted manchild with no internal source for any sensation more profound than ambivalence.
Yours"

A red-haired, stubbled man slouches unhappily on a green couch in a dim room, a laptop and handheld game on the table before him. A large thought bubble reads: "I want to masturbate but I have to pee! And I want to pee, but I have to masturbate!" A caption below states: Logicians refer to this as the "Get a Job" Paradox. The votey (aftercomic) is a handwritten note: "Dear Zach, Technically, that's not a paradox. I'm pointing this out because I'm a lonely Internet-addicted manchild with no internal source for any sensation more profound than ambivalence. Yours"
