 ==Explanation==
-This comic shows a box of "Deep-cleaning pore strips," which are a skin-care product designed to clean your pores. You stick them on your face, wait a while, and then rip them off. When they come off, a whole lot of disgusting gunk, like dirt and body oils, is lifted out of your pores with them. The kind shown in the comic, however, is "deep cleaning", and rips out not only the user's pore gunk, but also his entire skull. However, the skull looks extremely clean, so the cleaning has probably worked.

-The title text indicates that while Randall is aware that pore-cleaning strips are useless and possibly harmful products created to make money by "solving" something that isn't actually a problem, they are quite effective at getting things out of the pores on a person's nose.
+The title text indicates that while Randall is aware that pore-cleaning strips are useless and possibly harmful products created to make money by "solving" something that isn't actually a problem, they seem quite effective at getting things out of the pores on a person's nose. In reality, pore strips only remove excess material (dead skin, oil, dirt, etc) from the surface of the skin, and do not effectively clean one's pores. Randall appears to be unaware of this fact, though this dishonesty on the part of the manufacturer may tie in to the potentially malicious nature of the 'cosmetics-industrial complex' (see below).
-The title text also refers to the cosmetics industry as the "cosmetics-industrial complex", which is a play on the term "{{w|military-industrial complex}}", coined by Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th president of the United States.
