Main comic (single panel): Three people sit at a table. On the left, a man with red hair and round glasses gestures with his hands. In the middle, a woman with brown hair in a green shirt leans on the table with a pen and paper in front of her. On the right, a bald man with a beard holds a coffee mug.
Red-haired man: "So, what's this year's 'breakthrough'?"
Red-haired man: "Okay, so a neutrino hits a Higgs boson, and you get a..."
Bald bearded man: "Biggs neutroson."
Woman (brown hair): "Done."
Caption below panel:
Pro Tip:
There is no such thing as Quantum Mechanics.
Votey:
Title banner: "NAMING STYLES BY SCIENCE"
Three columns headed BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS.
BIOLOGY (woman with glasses): "It's a trans-particulo-tonitatrix-itionizer"
CHEMISTRY (man with eyepatch): "It's C.3[E9-3[ R-,12N77 24IUM" (a long pseudo-chemical formula)
PHYSICS (man sticking out tongue): "A splork!"

A single-panel SMBC comic. Three people sit at a table: a red-haired man in glasses gesturing, a brown-haired woman in green leaning on the table, and a bald bearded man holding a coffee mug. The red-haired man asks, "So, what's this year's 'breakthrough'?" then improvises, "Okay, so a neutrino hits a Higgs boson, and you get a..." The bald man finishes, "Biggs neutroson." The woman says, "Done." The joke: they are inventing a fake physics discovery on the spot just by mashing particle names together. A caption below reads "Pro Tip: There is no such thing as Quantum Mechanics." The votey is a hand-drawn chart titled "Naming Styles By Science" with three columns. Biology: a woman saying "It's a trans-particulo-tonitatrix-itionizer." Chemistry: a man with an eyepatch reciting a long meaningless chemical formula. Physics: a man with his tongue out shouting "A splork!" mocking how each field names things.
