Panel 1:
Man: What's the matter, honey?
Woman: Nothing.
Panel 2:
Man: It's clearly not "nothing."
Panel 3:
Woman: Even empty space has vacuum energy. So "nothing" is a stupid thing to say, OK? If you had even a rudimentary knowledge of particle physics, it'd be obvious.
Panel 4:
Man: Okay, fine. I'm upset by how you talk down to me all the time.
Woman: Oh.
Panel 5:
Man: Oh honey, that's not nothing.
Panel 6:
Woman: That's "negligible." Look it up.
Votey:
Man (off-panel): You're pretty, though.
(The woman is shown with a flat, unamused expression.)

A six-panel comic. A woman and a man talk. He asks "What's the matter, honey?" She says "Nothing." He insists, "It's clearly not 'nothing.'" She lectures: "Even empty space has vacuum energy. So 'nothing' is a stupid thing to say, OK? If you had even a rudimentary knowledge of particle physics, it'd be obvious." He admits, "Okay, fine. I'm upset by how you talk down to me all the time." She replies, "Oh." He says gently, "Oh honey, that's not nothing." She shoots back, "That's 'negligible.' Look it up." Votey aftercomic: a close-up of the woman's deadpan, unimpressed face as an off-panel voice (the man) says, "You're pretty, though."
