Panel 1:
A woman with gray hair (in red) gestures while talking to a man with a mustache (in a brown suit).
Woman: WE HAVE DNA, NANO-MEDICINE, SYNTHETIC LIFE...
Man: THERE'S A HEXAGON ON THE NORTH POLE OF SATURN!
Panel 2:
A woman with black hair (in blue) faces the same mustached man, who points at himself.
Woman: WE HAVE FEMTO-CHEMISTRY, SYNTHETIC ELEMENTS, ACID THAT EATS ANYTHING...
Man: THERE'S A F--KING HEXAGON ON SATURN!
Panel 3:
A man with red hair and glasses (in green) faces the mustached man, who is now agitated.
Red-haired man: WE HAVE PARTICLE ACCELERATORS, QUANTUM TELEPORTATION, SUPERSY-
Mustached man: THERE IS A MOTHERF--KING HEXAGON ON MOTHERF--KING SATURN!
Caption (below panels): Astronomers have a bit of an edge in "coolest science" arguments.
Votey:
A hand-drawn label reads "HERE THEY ARE!" above a banner showing three dashed-outline boxes, each containing the letters "UC".

A three-panel SMBC comic. In each panel, scientists from other fields list their impressive achievements, and a mustached astronomer interrupts with escalating excitement and profanity. Panel 1: a gray-haired woman says, "We have DNA, nano-medicine, synthetic life..." The astronomer shouts, "There's a hexagon on the north pole of Saturn!" Panel 2: a black-haired woman says, "We have femto-chemistry, synthetic elements, acid that eats anything..." The astronomer, pointing at himself, shouts, "There's a f--king hexagon on Saturn!" Panel 3: a red-haired man in glasses begins, "We have particle accelerators, quantum teleportation, supersy-" The astronomer, now furious, shouts, "There is a motherf--king hexagon on motherf--king Saturn!" Caption: "Astronomers have a bit of an edge in 'coolest science' arguments." Votey: a hand-drawn banner labeled "Here they are!" displaying three dashed boxes each reading "UC" — the censored swear letters from the panels.
