The main comic has two parts. The top panel is a handwritten list on a yellow background titled "PHASES OF LIFE:" with fourteen numbered items, each "[verb] EVERYTHING": 1) eat, 2) see, 3) have, 4) do, 5) fuck, 6) love, 7) fix, 8) change, 9) earn, 10) keep, 11) relive, 12) remember, 13) resolve, 14) relax everything. The bottom panel shows two elderly men sitting at a bar with a wine bottle between them. One holds the list and asks, "At what age does six start?" (phase 6, love everything). The other replies, "No idea." The joke: even in old age, the phase of loving everything hasn't arrived and no one knows when it will. Votey: a rough sketch of a man's profile. A speech bubble asks, "Would you like it to start?" and the answer is "Nope."
