XKCD Web Comic #1088:Five Years

A web comic of romance,
sarcasm, math, and language.

 

Two characters sit across from each other at a desk. One has a beret and the other has a bun.

Bun: Where do you see yourself in five years?

Beret: Oh man, I don’t know! Let’s find out!

The characters stare at one another.

Cobwebs and hair grow; the desk and chairs fall into disrepair.

Five years pass.

Beret: Hah–I thought so!

Hover-text:

Bun: Well, no further questions. You’re hired!  Beret: Oh, sorry! I’m no longer interested. There’s a bunch of future I gotta go check out!

 

Warning: This comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).
