A two-panel comic. Top banner caption across both panels reads "THE BEST PART OF DISCOVERING A GRAND UNIFIED THEORY... WAS PERMANENTLY NAMING IT." Panel 1: A woman with brown hair, round glasses, and a green jacket stands at a podium holding papers, saying, "We propose that all interaction can be explained by four-dimensional curled strings." Panel 2: A close-up of the same woman saying, "We call them hyperpubes." The joke is that she gives a serious physics theory an absurd, juvenile name. Votey (bonus panel): The same woman, in a rough sketch, adds, "When fermions are accounted for, it's called superpube theory" — a pun extending the gag to supersymmetry.
