Explanation[edit]

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.

Transcript[edit]

[Panel 1: A woman in a red dress stands behind a man with large glasses.]
Woman: "How big is it?"
[Panels 2 to 8. The man answers the increasingly confused and irritated woman's questions.]
Man: "Using what metric?"
Woman: "Length?"
Man: "Infinity."
Woman: "Area?"
Man: "Infinity."
Woman: "Volume?"
Man: "Quite small."
[Panel 9. The man speaks to the woman, who is around a meter in front of him.]
Quite quite small.
Caption: "My attempt at erotic usage of the coastline paradox narrowly failed."

Votey Transcript[edit]

[The man's face is visible.]
Man: "Are you familiar with the concept of Gabriel's dong?"
