coasting

Title text: Now and then I make a comic just to convince the world I haven't set foot in a bar in 20 years.

Votey

Explanation

The coastline paradox states that the measured length of something, such as a coastline, tends to increase as measurement is more specific, all the way to infinity. The man depicted in the comic is trying to describe his penis as infinitely long and having infinite surface area, which would be technically true (were the Universe not discrete) to impress a not-so-gullible woman, whose interrogation causes the man to admit the unappealingly small volume of his genital organ.

The votey refers to Gabriel's horn, which in geometry signifies a horn-like shape which tapers off infinitely, thus having finite volume and infinite area, much like the man's penis.
