Caption text above the panel:
IN THIS UNIVERSE, THERE IS ROUGHLY ONE ATOM OF HYDROGEN PER CUBIC METER.
AN ATOM OF HYDROGEN HAS A MASS OF ROUGHLY 1.66 x 10^-27 KILOGRAMS.
THE AVERAGE PERSON HAS A MASS OF ROUGHLY 80 KILOGRAMS.
WHICH LEADS US TO THE HUMAN CONDITION.
Panel (a man with red/orange hair, shirtless, gesturing; a dark-haired woman seen from behind in the foreground):
Man: IT WOULD TAKE TEN MILLION BILLION BILLION CUBIC METERS OF SPACE TO EQUAL THE MASS OF MY PENIS!
Woman: SO... ABOUT AVERAGE THEN.
Man: ONLY SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE, YES.
Votey:
Close-up of the red-haired man's face, eyes downcast and pained, saying in a quavering, drawn-out voice: OOOOOONLYYY SLLL IIIIGHTLYY!!

A two-part SMBC comic. Above the single panel, narration reads: in this universe there is roughly one atom of hydrogen per cubic meter; a hydrogen atom has a mass of roughly 1.66 x 10^-27 kilograms; the average person has a mass of roughly 80 kilograms; 'which leads us to the human condition.' In the panel, a shirtless red-haired man stands gesturing while a dark-haired woman sits with her back to the viewer. He boasts: 'It would take ten million billion billion cubic meters of space to equal the mass of my penis!' She replies flatly, 'So... about average then.' He answers, deflated, 'Only slightly below average, yes.' Votey (aftercomic): an extreme close-up of the red-haired man's face, eyes lowered and grimacing in wounded misery, repeating in a stretched, trembling wail, 'Ooooonlyyy sllll iiiightlyy!!'
