A two-panel comic titled "Cosmology does weird things to your brain." A grey-haired woman in a red shirt talks to a balding man seen from behind. She says, "Well, today sucked." He asks, "Why?" She replies, "I stepped in dog shit, AND the universe will be entropic and dead infinitely longer than it was warm and life-bearing." The joke is that she equates a cosmic-scale tragedy with stepping in dog poop. In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of the woman's worried face, she adds, "It got all over my shoe" — reverting to the mundane complaint as the bigger grievance.
