Also it doesn't says so in the explanation now? Actually the explanation says that a line graph has lines between the points...

| + | This comic graphs the "suggestiveness" of different visualization types, and the winner is {{w|Violin plot|Violin plots}}, hence the title of the comic. A violin plot is a method of plotting data similar to a {{w|box plot}}, but shows the full probability distribution of the data rather than a "box" showing the central two quartiles. This plot can look like female genitals, as do some of those in the violin plot represented in the comic (strictly speaking, this chart is not purely a violin plot; it is a box plot overlaid onto a violin plot). | ||
The chart compares other visualization types' suggestiveness (as female genitalia) to the violin plots and ranks them after how suggestive they are. In the low end we find {{w|pie chart}}, a circular graph divided into "slices" to show proportions, and {{w|Line chart|line graph}} or line chart, a graph of points connected by line segments. | The chart compares other visualization types' suggestiveness (as female genitalia) to the violin plots and ranks them after how suggestive they are.

Almost as suggestive as violin plots are the paintings by {{w|Georgia O'Keeffe}}, an American painter known for her {{w|Flower paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe|paintings of flowers}}. Some of these flowers, ''{{w|Black Iris (painting)|Black Iris}}'' for example, are said to symbolize female genitalia, though O'Keeffe herself denied those claims. | Almost as suggestive as violin plots are the paintings by {{w|Georgia O'Keeffe}}, an American painter known for her {{w|Flower paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe|paintings of flowers}}.

| − | The title text invokes the fact that many people incorrectly use the word "{{w|vagina}}", which refers to an internal structure, for the {{w|vulva}}, which is the external portion of the female genitals. Meanwhile the {{w|viola}} is an instrument often mistaken for a {{w|violin}}. And the word "viola" shares common letters with "vulva." | + | The title text invokes the fact that many people incorrectly use the word "{{w|vagina}}", which refers to an internal structure, for the {{w|vulva}}, which is the external portion of the female genitals.

| − | + | [[Randall]] has made several comics with [[:Category:Sex|sexual topics]], and the vagina has been the center of attention before, as early as in [[136: Science Fair]]. There is even an entire [[:Category:Penis|Penis category]]. However, these topics haven't appeared recently—the last comic in the penis category was posted more than two years ago, and the sex category hasn't had a new comic for months. | |
