The text:
"I should be able to place in the comic. I went to college with XKCD."
"Isn't your wife having a baby now?"
"Yes, but she's not allowed to draw it for me anyway."
"Oh."
...
"So... what's Randall Monroe like?"
"Excellent taste in my ex-girlfriends. Can't draw catgirl headphones as well as I can, though."
"Well, nobody's perfect."

Important note: the headphones got worse every single panel. I leave it as an exercise for the reader to guess when I started doing that intentionally.
