Panel 1:
A teacher (referred to in the caption as Mr. Silber) stands at the front of a classroom, smiling, holding a pointer aimed at a chalkboard. On the board is a drawing of a skull with headphones, labeled "HEAT", with arrows pointing to a list:
HEAT → Hydrogen
→ Oxygen
→ Nitrogen
On the desk in front of the board sits a small pile of dark material with a burning candle/flame stuck in it. Two students (visible from behind) watch in the foreground.
Caption (below panel): I don't think Mr. Silber understood the point of Take Your Pet to School Day.
Votey:
Close-up of the teacher's face — balding, glasses, with an irritated/intense expression.
Teacher: "Life" is just uppity chemistry.

A teacher stands at a chalkboard, smiling and pointing with a stick. The board shows a drawing of a skull wearing headphones labeled "HEAT" with arrows breaking it down into Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen. On the desk below sits a small heap of charred material with a lit flame coming out of it. Two students watch from behind. The caption reads: "I don't think Mr. Silber understood the point of Take Your Pet to School Day" — implying he incinerated a pet to demonstrate chemistry. Votey: a close-up of the balding, bespectacled teacher's face wearing a grim, irritated expression, saying, "'Life' is just uppity chemistry."
