We cartoonists have to worry about weird details. For example:

How many ups and downs are funny?
Would a curvy line be funnier?
Should it dip below the bottom axis, and if so how often?
How should the graph end?

It took me a few tries before I decided that this line graph was funny enough, but I think I got it.
