A single-panel comic. A stern woman with long black hair and round glasses leans toward two grubby children, both smeared with brown stains. The blonde child holds up a fork. Her speech bubble reads: "I believe we can decrease the disorder of your bodies by introducing energy into them." A caption beneath the panel reads: "Chemists make the best babysitters." The joke is that she's describing cleaning the messy kids in the language of thermodynamics. The votey (bonus panel) shows a close-up of the same woman adding: "It's safe to model you as water, right?" — treating the children as a physics simplification.
