The top panel shows a two-panel comic strip where a girl transforms from a nervous child into a confident teenager with romantic thoughts about boys, with the text "What puberty did to my friends" and "What puberty did to me." The bottom panel cycles through three different images: a close-up of a cartoon man with a mustache, a scene from The Legend of Zelda showing Link in a shop, and a man with glasses playing a video game, each with a caption suggesting a negative or challenging experience, creating a humorous contrast between the idealized and the real effects of puberty.
