A six-panel comic showing a couple arguing about breaking up, framed through multiverse theory. A woman tells a man they need to break up; he asks why, then protests "But we could be in the five percent!" She explains her quantum computer scanned all possible universes where they stay together and only five percent contain happy longterm relationships; he says "Unlikely." She counters that by making the calculation he is reducing the odds further, asking if his five percent figure includes the universes he scanned. He replies he is in the one percent of universes where meta-analysis won't change his decision. He declares he'll find a girl who doesn't subscribe to multiverse theory; she snaps back asking what the odds of that are. He says "Damn it!" while she sits typing smugly at her computer. In the votey aftercomic, the woman sits alone looking dejected and says "This universe sucks."
