Title: THE BIOLOGIST'S DILEMMA:
Panel 1:
A woman with brown hair and a man with a beard and a sweater vest sit at laptops.
Woman: Less than 40% of Americans believe in evolution...
Man: We just need to reach out to them! Once they meet us, they'll realize we're the same as they are. We have the same hopes, the same dreams, the same joys.
Panel 2:
The woman stands in front of a whiteboard covered in equations (including "P=A(L/0) K sin" and a graph).
Offscreen voice (knocking): KNOCK! KNOCK!
Offscreen voice: Mail's here!
Woman (smiling): OH BOY!
Panel 3:
The woman and the bearded man both gleefully punch the air with raised fists, holding/celebrating over a package labeled "WESTERN BIOLOGICAL." A man in a cap looks on from the doorway.
Woman: PIG FETUSES!
Votey:
The two scientists grin excitedly.
Woman 1: How should we celebrate?
Woman 2: BACON PIZZA!

Three-panel comic titled "The Biologist's Dilemma." Panel 1: Two biologists at laptops. A brown-haired woman says less than 40% of Americans believe in evolution; a bearded man in a sweater vest optimistically insists they just need to reach out, because ordinary people share the same hopes, dreams, and joys as scientists. Panel 2: The woman stands at an equation-covered whiteboard when a knock and a call of "Mail's here!" prompts her to cry "Oh boy!" Panel 3: She and the bearded man punch the air in pure delight over a package marked "Western Biological," shouting "Pig fetuses!" while a delivery man watches, undercutting the earlier claim that scientists are just like everyone else. Votey: The two grinning scientists decide how to celebrate the pig fetuses by ordering "Bacon pizza!"
