You're going to have to click on this XKCD by Randall Munroe in order to make it even remotely legible. First scroll all the way to the bottom for the explanation, and then read it carefully all the way up. And read it all you should because there's a LOT packed into this drawing, not just all the little artistic jokes that he threw in there, but also the sheer information of it all (and don't forget to notice the one at the upper right-most corner of the drawing).
This drawing is related to yesterday's because the drawing concept of representing scale logarithmically is somewhat similar, though in this one Munroe made a much more thorough effort at the accuracy of the scale.
Go to this actual webcomic, hover over the image, and there will be an additional message in the "title-text" . This one says:
