Title banner: GREAT MOMENTS IN SCIENCE
Panel: A young man with brown hair (depicted as a young Einstein) sits thoughtfully on a rock in a landscape with purple mountains, an orange sky, and a spiral-shaped sun. He rests his chin on one hand, deep in thought.
Thought bubble: "WHAT IF I COULD EXPLAIN ALL MOTION RELATIVE TO THE SPEED OF LIGHT IN A VACUUM?!"
Caption below the panel: August 25, 1895: Einstein's first thought experiment on how to get the most science groupies.
Votey:
Handwritten quote: "IMAGINATION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KNOWLEDGE. THAT, AND DOIN' IT."

A 'Great Moments in Science' comic. A young, thoughtful Einstein sits on a rock in a stylized landscape (purple mountains, orange sky, a spiral sun), chin in hand, with a thought bubble: 'What if I could explain all motion relative to the speed of light in a vacuum?!' The caption reads: 'August 25, 1895: Einstein's first thought experiment on how to get the most science groupies.' The joke recasts his physics insight as a strategy to attract admirers. Votey: a handwritten faux-Einstein quote, 'Imagination is more important than knowledge. That, and doin' it.'
