Prophylactic of Eldritch Power

It certainly worked throughout my teenage years!

(Unfortunately, I do not know where this comic is from, or who created it. If any reader knows, I'd be grateful for the information. Thanks!)

    1. Huh. I actually think the comic is funnier without the final panel (i.e., I prefer the version I posted to the original).

    2. Agreed. The final panel is useless; or rather, it even renders the story less funny.

  3. Another vote for the four-panel version.

  4. My, that extra panel really does sap the funny...

  5. I liked it better with the final panel, mostly because you get what you think is the punch line ("Doh ho, nerds don't get any, what a joke this is") in the 3rd panel, and then get a quick reversal in the last ("Oh nevermind, his genitals were mutilated instead"). Nifty role reversal, although it's not especially funny in either version.
