Title (top of comic): THE WANGULARITY IS NEAR.
The comic is a single hand-drawn line graph.
Y-axis label: PENIS BIOMASS (kg), with values marked in powers of ten ascending: 10^1, 10^3, 10^5, 10^7, 10^9, 10^11, 10^13, 10^15, 10^17, 10^19, 10^21, 10^23, 10^25.
X-axis label: TIME.
A magenta curve starts near the bottom left at roughly 10^1 and rises slowly, then sweeps upward into a near-vertical exponential spike at the right edge of the graph.
An arrow points to the top of the spike with the label: ENTIRE EARTH COMPOSED OF PENISES.
Votey:
A caption in quotation marks inside a hand-drawn box: "THE PHALLUSIAN CATASTROPHE"

A parody of the classic technological-singularity exponential graph. The bold title reads THE WANGULARITY IS NEAR. A hand-drawn line chart has a y-axis labeled PENIS BIOMASS (kg) with tick marks climbing in powers of ten from 10^1 up to 10^25, and an x-axis labeled TIME. A magenta curve creeps up slowly from the bottom left, then rockets into a near-vertical exponential spike at the right edge. An arrow points to the top of the spike with the note ENTIRE EARTH COMPOSED OF PENISES. The joke replaces Ray Kurzweil's singularity with runaway exponential growth of penis biomass until the planet is entirely penises. The votey is a single boxed caption naming the event: "THE PHALLUSIAN CATASTROPHE".
