While we have permission to use the entire comic from xkcd's creator, I think the first two panels are sufficient here to show the trope.

The first two are indeed sufficient, but I like the third for the absurdity of the timespan.

Having fewer but bigger panels would be good.

8 > 5.

Shoulda thought of that. 8 is definitely better.

I kind of think the last three panels are funnier.

"You had an affair in the 90 seconds I was gone?"
"Yes. And we had a son. He'd be about your age by now."

Bump; anyone else?

P.S: 8 is good [tup]. And the last three panels are better as caption, I think.

Bumping because even though we have a suggestion going, this has discussion hasn't been replied to in weeks.

Do we have enough consensus to go with the suggestion, or should we set up a crowner?

EDIT: And on a related note, do we have permission to "use the whole comic" for all XKCD comics, or only this one?

It's kinda weak but not bad enough to pull for me. Locking up.
