This comic shows a map of the United States, with every state resized based on where it appears in an alphabetical list of states. Hence Alabama is the largest state, Wyoming is the smallest.

Looks more like the states were listed alphabetically and sizes were adjusted to match that ranking. States beginning with ‘A’ are biggest and states beginning with ’W’ are tiny.
The title text is a diminutive of Wyoming, making fun of how small it is on this map.

A More Fair Map Instead of giving more area to larger states, this map improves fairness by sizing the states alphabetically.
