Panel 1:
Woman: Baby, would you ever be untrue to me?
Panel 2:
Man: Well my prior probability is extremely low but obviously I can't rule it out.
Panel 3:
Man: The nature of life as a small mind in a stochastic universe requires me to admit the possibility that at almost any future date I might be hopping on some strange dong while texting you that I'm staying late at the library.
Panel 4:
Woman: I'm gonna break up with you if you keep doing this Bayesian shit.
Man (in silhouette): You mean you THINK you're gonna break up with me.
Votey:
Man (thought/caption): Nothing is certain but death, probably.
(The man is shown with a small smug, self-satisfied smile.)

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A woman asks a man, "Baby, would you ever be untrue to me?" Panel 2: The man, wide-eyed, replies, "Well my prior probability is extremely low but obviously I can't rule it out." Panel 3: He continues, "The nature of life as a small mind in a stochastic universe requires me to admit the possibility that at almost any future date I might be hopping on some strange dong while texting you that I'm staying late at the library." The woman looks unimpressed. Panel 4: Both shown as black silhouettes; the woman says, "I'm gonna break up with you if you keep doing this Bayesian shit," and the man smugly replies, "You mean you THINK you're gonna break up with me." Votey: A close-up of the man's face wearing a small smug smile, with the caption "Nothing is certain but death, probably."
