Panel 1:
A person (seated, holding a pen and writing on a sheet of paper): "...You're an adult! You can literally make a sheet cake -- a whole sheet cake!

You can do this forever because you're an adult and who's going to stop you?"

A two-panel SMBC comic about "cake therapy." In the first panel, a seated person writing on a notepad enthusiastically tells someone that as an adult they can literally make and eat an entire frosted sheet cake for days, and nobody can stop them because they're an adult. In the second panel the listener, hands raised in epiphany, exclaims, "By God you're right. I'm gonna go out and just DO IT!" A caption below reads: "'Cake therapy' outperforms cognitive behavioral therapy in all categories pertaining to eating a lot of cake." In the votey aftercomic, a wide-eyed man with a slack, manic expression declares, "I keep waiting to feel regret for eating 10 sheet cakes and it simply never comes!"
