Panel 1:
A young man with reddish-blond hair in a red polo shirt speaks to a man with dark hair, a mustache, and sunglasses pushed up on his head, who is wearing a green vest, white shirt, and green tie. They appear to be in an industrial or basement setting with pipes overhead.
Young man: "Huge huge hairless muscle-tits. The bigger the better. So, SO masculine."
Caption (below panel): Pectoral muscles would be the hardest male beauty standard to explain to a 19th century person.
Votey:
A simple line-drawn sketch of a head (the young man).
Young man: "He should look like a Greek god whose name I don't know because classics are out of fashion."

A two-panel SMBC comic. Main panel: in an industrial-looking room with overhead pipes, a young man in a red polo shirt enthusiastically explains to a mustached man wearing a green vest and sunglasses pushed up on his head: "Huge huge hairless muscle-tits. The bigger the better. So, SO masculine." A caption beneath reads: "Pectoral muscles would be the hardest male beauty standard to explain to a 19th century person." Votey: a rough line sketch of the young man's head, saying "He should look like a Greek god whose name I don't know because classics are out of fashion." The joke: modern idealized male physique (big pecs, classical statue look) would baffle someone from the 1800s, made funnier by the speaker not even knowing the classical references behind it.
