Title (above panel): HOW I REACT TO A NEW DELICIOUS FOOD
The comic is a single line graph. The horizontal (x) axis is labeled TIME. The vertical (y) axis is unlabeled but has two legend labels to its left:
- (in blue) QUANTITY EATEN DAILY
- (in red) QUANTITY REMAINING IN HOUSE
The red curve ("quantity remaining in house") rises gradually, then sharply, and levels off at a high plateau, staying high.
The blue curve ("quantity eaten daily") tracks low alongside the red curve, then spikes sharply upward to a tall peak, and immediately crashes straight back down to zero, staying flat at the bottom.
Votey:
Panel: A man with glasses (seen in side profile) speaks to a partner. In the foreground a child looks on.
Man: THROW OUT YOUR FIVE POUNDS OF SZECHUAN CHILI OIL!
Partner (speech bubble): IT'S PART OF OUR MARRIAGE NOW.

A hand-drawn line graph titled "How I react to a new delicious food." The x-axis is labeled "Time"; the y-axis has two legends: blue for "Quantity eaten daily" and red for "Quantity remaining in house." Both curves stay low at first. The red "remaining in house" curve climbs steeply and then levels off at a high plateau (you keep stocking up on it). The blue "eaten daily" curve rises with it, spikes to a tall peak, then suddenly plummets straight to zero (you binge it obsessively, then abruptly stop). Votey (aftercomic): A man in glasses, shown in profile, tells his partner, "Throw out your five pounds of Szechuan chili oil!" The partner replies in a speech bubble, "It's part of our marriage now." A child watches in the foreground.
