Title banner (across top): SAD TRUTH: ALL DATA IS SUBJECTIVE
The comic is split into two side-by-side panels, each with its own header label.
Left panel header: BAD VERSION
Right panel header: GOOD VERSION
Both panels show the same woman (brown hair, glasses, wearing a green sweater-vest over a yellow collared shirt) standing at a podium, but with different expressions and dialogue.
Panel 1 (BAD VERSION): The woman looks distressed/worried, gesturing with an open hand.
Woman: "One quarter of our kids now have sex by age THIRTEEN!"
Panel 2 (GOOD VERSION): The same woman now looks delighted and triumphant, smiling with a raised fist.
Woman: "My fellow Americans, we have become a nation of SEXUAL PRODIGIES!"
Votey:
A close-up of a different person (a man with curly/wavy hair, eyes closed, looking smug or thoughtful) speaking.
Man: "If there were more gingers, we could get that number higher!"

A two-panel SMBC comic under a banner reading "SAD TRUTH: ALL DATA IS SUBJECTIVE." The two panels are labeled "BAD VERSION" and "GOOD VERSION" and show the same woman in glasses and a green sweater-vest standing at a podium, framing identical statistics two opposite ways. In the BAD VERSION she looks distressed and says, "One quarter of our kids now have sex by age THIRTEEN!" In the GOOD VERSION she beams with a raised fist and declares, "My fellow Americans, we have become a nation of SEXUAL PRODIGIES!" The votey (bonus panel) shows a close-up of a smug man with curly hair adding, "If there were more gingers, we could get that number higher!"
