Main comic:
Panel 1 (single panel):
A mustached man in a dark blue suit, vest, and yellow tie stands in front of a chalkboard, holding a pointer stick. The chalkboard shows physics equations including an integral, "= ∫ from t₀ to ∞ of c/a(t) dt" and a term "-(1 - 2M/r) dt".
Man (speaking, eyes closed in lecture pose): "Once you go black (or further) you'll never go back (to an outside observer)"
Caption below panel: "Professor Tyson discusses Event Horizons."
Votey:
Text at top: "Great pickup line:"
The same mustached man, drawn smiling and holding up a drink/glass, says:
"Welcome to the Schwarzchild radius."

A single-panel comic. A mustached man in a dark blue suit, vest, and yellow tie stands at a chalkboard holding a pointer. The board is covered in general-relativity equations (an integral with c/a(t), a term with 2M/r). Eyes closed in a lecturing pose, he says: 'Once you go black (or further) you'll never go back (to an outside observer).' A caption reads: 'Professor Tyson discusses Event Horizons.' The joke turns a crude pun ('once you go black, you'll never go back') into a black-hole physics line about the event horizon. Votey (aftercomic): the same smiling man holds up a drink and offers a 'Great pickup line:' — 'Welcome to the Schwarzchild radius,' naming the boundary of a black hole.
