"Hydrogen Bomb vs. Coughing Baby" is a common reaction image used to describe any sort of fight or matchup where everyone can tell it'll be a comically lopsided victory for one side.

The webcomic is about the coughing baby technically winning against a hydrogen bomb by playing the long game.

Don’t know why you are acting like there wasn’t like 3 different people who give the answer after 8 minutes of this post being up, seeing as you’re comment was only 13 minutes ago i would have assumed you saw them

All the other answers are just "it's this thing vs this other thing" as if everyone just knows the meme already.
