Main comic (single panel of handwritten math on a yellow background):
L = AVERAGE LEG LENGTH = 0.9 m
ℓ = AVERAGE ERECTION LENGTH = 0.15 m
(for males in the USA)
L₁ × L₂ = ℓ (vectors, written with arrows over each term)
L² sin(Θ) n̂ = ℓ n̂
sin⁻¹(ℓ / L²) = Θ
sin⁻¹(.15 / .9²) ≈ 10°
(To the right is a vector diagram: two arrows L₁ and L₂ spreading apart from a common origin with an angle Θ between them, and a third arrow ℓ pointing upward out of the vertex.)
Caption below the panel:
Fact: If they're 10 degrees apart, the cross product of your legs is your penis.
Votey:
A person with short hair, eyes half-closed and unimpressed, says to another person seen from behind (with flame-like / wavy hair):
Person: "MEH. THIS IMPLIES YOUR PENIS IS NORMAL."

Main comic: a single panel on a yellow background covered in handwritten math. It defines L = average leg length = 0.9 m and ℓ = average erection length = 0.15 m (for males in the USA). It then treats the legs as vectors and computes their cross product: L₁ × L₂ = ℓ, which becomes L² sin(Θ) = ℓ, solved as Θ = sin⁻¹(.15 / .9²) ≈ 10 degrees. A small vector diagram on the right shows two leg vectors L₁ and L₂ spread apart by angle Θ, with the result vector ℓ pointing up from the vertex. The caption reads: "Fact: If they're 10 degrees apart, the cross product of your legs is your penis." Votey: a person with short hair and a flat, unimpressed expression looks at a second person (seen from behind, with wavy hair) and deadpans, "Meh. This implies your penis is normal." The joke: the elaborate math only proves an average-sized result, which deflates the bit.
