Title: THE SADDEST PART OF ADULTHOOD:
A line graph. The y-axis is labeled "DESIRE TO DRAW A REALLY BADASS SWORD" and the x-axis is labeled "AGE". The dark red curve starts moderately high, rises to a peak early on, then declines steadily and steeply as age increases. Near the right (older age) end, the curve flattens out low but shows a few sharp upward spikes that get progressively smaller, before trailing off at the bottom.

A second line graph. The y-axis is labeled "ABILITY TO LAUGH AT GRAPH "JOKES"" and the x-axis is labeled "AGE". The black curve rises steadily and increasingly upward from low at young age to high at old age, ending in an arrow pointing up and to the right.

A hand-drawn line graph titled "THE SADDEST PART OF ADULTHOOD:". The vertical axis reads "DESIRE TO DRAW A REALLY BADASS SWORD" and the horizontal axis reads "AGE". A dark red line rises to a peak early in life, then falls off steeply with increasing age. Toward old age it flattens near the bottom but throws up a few small, diminishing spikes before fading out, suggesting the occasional fleeting urge to doodle a cool sword. Votey: a smaller graph headed "ALSO" with the vertical axis "ABILITY TO LAUGH AT GRAPH "JOKES"" and horizontal axis "AGE"; its black line climbs steadily upward with age, ending in an upward arrow — the joke being that getting older trades sword-drawing desire for an appreciation of graph-based humor.
