Panel 1:
Woman (with dark hair, blue shirt): Why do you people only think with your penises?

Panel 2:
Man (red hair, yellow shirt): Penises can be in an on state or off state. Computer science says you can do calculations with them.

Panel 3:
Woman: I... that can't be right. It's only one bit. You can't do anything complex with that.

Panel 4:
Man: Which is WHY penis-based decisions are always stupid.
Woman: WHOOOOAAAA.

Votey:
Off-panel voice: Why can't you use your fingers?
Man (sketched face): That's memory storage.

A four-panel SMBC comic. A red-haired man in a yellow shirt and a dark-haired woman in a blue shirt talk. Panel 1: the woman asks, "Why do you people only think with your penises?" Panel 2: the man explains, "Penises can be in an on state or off state. Computer science says you can do calculations with them." Panel 3: the woman objects, "I... that can't be right. It's only one bit. You can't do anything complex with that." Panel 4: the man concludes, "Which is WHY penis-based decisions are always stupid," and the woman responds with an awestruck "WHOOOOAAAA." The joke: a single bit can't do complex computation, so penis-based reasoning is inherently dumb. Votey (aftercomic): a roughly sketched face. An off-panel voice asks, "Why can't you use your fingers?" and the man deadpans, "That's memory storage."
