Panel 1 (header banner: TODAY...):
Man holding a genie lamp: "I wish the penis was a muscle, so size would be proportional to the work you put in, instead of random."
A green genie emerges from the smoke of the lamp, listening.
Panel 2 (header banner: THE NEXT 100 YEARS...):
A line graph. Y-axis labeled "POPULATION", X-axis labeled "TIME". The line starts high, declines gradually, then drops off sharply toward zero.
Panel 3 (header banner: SOME TIME IN THE MIDDLE...):
A woman: "NO! No going to the gym! It's already impossible for us to have sex!"
A balding man in a tank top: "You clearly don't understand the point of a penis."
Votey:
A Venn diagram with two overlapping circles. Left circle: "GRAPH JOKE". Right circle: "DICK JOKE". The overlapping center: "SOLID GOLD".

A three-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1, captioned "TODAY...": a smiling man holds a genie lamp and wishes, "I wish the penis was a muscle, so size would be proportional to the work you put in, instead of random." A green genie rises from the lamp's smoke. Panel 2, captioned "THE NEXT 100 YEARS...": a line graph with "POPULATION" on the y-axis and "TIME" on the x-axis; the population line stays high at first, then declines and finally crashes toward zero. Panel 3, captioned "SOME TIME IN THE MIDDLE...": a distressed woman snaps, "NO! No going to the gym! It's already impossible for us to have sex!" A balding man in a tank top replies, "You clearly don't understand the point of a penis." The joke: making penis size depend on exercise leads people to over-train until reproduction becomes impossible and the population collapses. Votey: a hand-drawn Venn diagram with one circle labeled "GRAPH JOKE," the other "DICK JOKE," and their overlap labeled "SOLID GOLD."
