A vertical SMBC comic. A dark-haired man narrates, quoting complaints about being a bad roommate. In successive panels he goes from wearing a green shirt, to shirtless leaning on a chair, to fully naked. He arranges two chairs side by side and lies naked across them, narrating: "I'm always standing two chairs next to each other and lying on them naked... Hate all you want, my friend. My penis is pointing directly at the center of the earth." A bearded roommate in a yellow shirt opens the door and says his girlfriend is coming over tonight. The naked man replies: "And I bet she'll want to know the nature of this apartment's gravity field." Votey: the bearded man asks the naked man, now at a desk, "What's with you and using penises to measure things?" He answers, "Efficiency."
