Panel 1 (header banner: MYTH):
Elderly man with wild gray hair (depicted in the style of Albert Einstein), holding up a hand in wonder: "MY GOD... GRAVITY IS A CURVATURE OF SPACETIME. SPACETIME CURVES. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL."
Panel 2 (header banner: REALITY):
The same gray-haired man standing in a grand hall, both arms thrown up and pointing triumphantly, two other men visible in doorways behind him: "BOOYA LOSERS! GUESS WHOSE SCIENCE DICK JUST GREW TEN INCHES!"
Votey:
A bed scene. A woman lying down: "COME TO BED, HONEY." A shirtless man sitting up, pointing: "NO. THE INTERNET NEEDS DICK JOKES!"

A two-panel comic contrasting MYTH versus REALITY for a great scientific discovery. MYTH panel: an elderly man with wild gray Einstein-like hair gazes upward in awe, hand raised, saying, "My God... gravity is a curvature of spacetime. Spacetime curves. It's so beautiful." REALITY panel: the same man stands in a grand hall, both arms thrust up and pointing in triumph while two other men watch from doorways, shouting, "Booya losers! Guess whose science dick just grew ten inches!" The joke: the romanticized image of scientific epiphany is replaced by crude competitive gloating. Votey (aftercomic): a black-and-white bedroom scene where a woman lying down says, "Come to bed, honey," and a shirtless man sitting up points and refuses, "No. The internet needs dick jokes!"
