Title (above the graph): WHY I WON'T JOIN YOUR MOVEMENT:
The comic is a single line graph with two curves.
X-axis label: MEMBERS OF A GROUP
Left Y-axis label (in blue): AVERAGE IQ
Right Y-axis label (in red): PERCENT ASSHOLES
Blue curve (AVERAGE IQ): starts high on the left and decreases as you move right (as members of a group increase).
Red curve (PERCENT ASSHOLES): starts low on the left and increases as you move right (as members of a group increase).
The two curves cross near the middle.

A hand-drawn line graph titled "WHY I WON'T JOIN YOUR MOVEMENT:". The horizontal axis is labeled "MEMBERS OF A GROUP." Two curves plot against it: a blue curve labeled "AVERAGE IQ" that starts high and slopes downward as group membership grows, and a red curve labeled "PERCENT ASSHOLES" that starts low and curves sharply upward as membership grows. The two lines cross in the middle, implying that the more members a movement gains, the dumber and more full of assholes it becomes. Votey (aftercomic): plain text reading, "Before you write me: Please understand I'm not talking about your movement. I'm talking about every single other one."
