Panel 1:
Scientist (a dark-skinned man in a white lab coat with a green tie, standing beside a glowing gold reactor apparatus): "WE'VE DONE IT! EFFICIENT NUCLEAR FUSION! INFINITE ENERGY AT OUR FINGERTIPS!"
Second scientist (a balding bespectacled man in a white lab coat, hand on chin): "IT'S TIME TO LIVE THE DREAM THAT PHYSICISTS HAVE DREAMED FOR GENERATIONS..."

Panel 2:
(No dialogue. The bespectacled scientist stands at the controls of a large cannon-like device, arm raised, having just fired a blast. The energy beam strikes a building labeled "CHEMISTRY DEPT.", which explodes in flames.)

Votey:
(A scientist leans back, smiling, with a thought bubble.)
Thought bubble: "HA! PEOPLE CAN'T GET ENOUGH CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT JOKES!"

A two-panel comic. Panel 1: Two physicists in white lab coats stand by a glowing gold fusion reactor. The first, a dark-skinned man with a green tie, exclaims, "We've done it! Efficient nuclear fusion! Infinite energy at our fingertips!" The second, a balding man with glasses, says thoughtfully, "It's time to live the dream that physicists have dreamed for generations..." Panel 2: The bespectacled physicist now operates a giant cannon, arm raised triumphantly, having just fired an energy blast that slams into and explodes a building labeled "CHEMISTRY DEPT." The longed-for physicist dream turns out to be blowing up the chemistry department. Votey: A scientist leans back grinning, thinking to himself, "Ha! People can't get enough chemistry department jokes!"
