Explanation
This comic is titled "The Man with the World's Smallest Penis." In the top panel, a woman in bed excitedly says, "Ooh! I've never done it with a world record holder!" while the man cheerfully replies, "Once you go petite, you'll never retreat." He is confident and happy, basking in the novelty and fame of his unusual distinction.
The bottom panel is titled "The Man with the World's Second Smallest Penis" and shows a different man sitting alone on the edge of his bed in a dark room, looking dejected. The contrast is the heart of the joke: having the very smallest is a superlative, a world record, something that confers a bizarre kind of celebrity and even sex appeal. But being second-smallest means you have essentially the same physical attribute without any of the fame or novelty -- you're just a guy with a very small penis and nothing to show for it.
The votey panel continues the theme, with the second-smallest man suggestively saying, "You look nice. Can I interest you in a game I call... 'Locate my genitals'?" This reinforces his sad predicament: he tries to spin his situation as intriguing, but without the world-record distinction, it just comes across as awkward. The comic satirizes how our culture values extremes and records, even for dubious attributes, while those who are merely close to the extreme get none of the attention.
