Panel 1
Header banner: GOOD SCIENCE TEACHING
A woman with brown hair and white-framed glasses, wearing a green sweater-vest over a white collared shirt, speaks to a man with red hair (seen from behind), pointing at herself.
Woman: Every time you take a breath, you're breathing a few atoms that were once in Elvis' lungs.
Panel 2

The same woman points at the man, who is now facing forward and drinking from a glass of water.
Woman: Every time you drink water? Couple atoms of Charlemagne's balls!

Hand-lettered text in a box:
MATH CHALLENGE: What are the odds an atom in a cup of water has an atom that was in Charlemagne AND Napoleon's balls?

A two-panel comic comparing teaching styles. Panel 1 is labeled "GOOD SCIENCE TEACHING": a woman in a green sweater-vest and white glasses tells a red-haired man, "Every time you take a breath, you're breathing a few atoms that were once in Elvis' lungs." Panel 2 is labeled "FUN SCIENCE TEACHING": the same woman points at the man as he sips a glass of water and says, "Every time you drink water? Couple atoms of Charlemagne's balls!" The joke escalates a wholesome science fact into a crude one. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-lettered text box reads, "MATH CHALLENGE: What are the odds an atom in a cup of water has an atom that was in Charlemagne AND Napoleon's balls?"
