Panel 1 (top): A woman with brown hair and a man lie in bed together at night, both apparently nude under the covers. The woman, in the foreground, looks distressed.
Woman: OH GOD. IT FINALLY HAPPENED.
Man: WHAT?
Woman: STATISTICS.
Panel 2 (bottom): A line graph. The vertical axis is labeled "ODDS THAT THE WORST SEX OF HER LIFE WAS WITH YOU" and the horizontal axis is labeled "LENGTH OF RELATIONSHIP." A red curve rises steeply and then levels off near the top, approaching certainty as the relationship lengthens.
Votey: A simpler line graph titled "IN MY CASE:" The red curve is flat and pinned at the very top of the chart from the start, indicating the odds are at maximum the entire time.

A two-part SMBC comic. Top panel: a brown-haired woman and a man lie in bed together at night, both nude under the covers; the woman in the foreground looks alarmed. She says, "Oh god. It finally happened." The man asks, "What?" She answers, "Statistics." Bottom panel: a line graph whose vertical axis reads "Odds that the worst sex of her life was with you" and horizontal axis reads "Length of relationship." A red S-curve climbs steeply and plateaus near the top — the longer the relationship, the more inevitable that you'll eventually be the worst she's ever had. Votey (aftercomic): a small graph titled "In my case:" where the red line is flat and pinned at the absolute top from the very beginning — the odds were maxed out from day one.
