A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a blonde woman talks animatedly to people at a party, exclaiming that the whole universe is imploding, that gamma ray bursts are coming from every direction at once, and no one knows why. Panel 2, against a dark background: she holds up several glowing colored egg-shaped objects (yellow, purple, blue) and adds that if you shake the universe it heats up; an off-panel voice replies 'NEEEAAT!' The joke is that she is treating the actual cosmos like a novelty desk toy or party gadget being demonstrated. Votey: a crude black-and-white line drawing of a single egg-shaped blob, with an off-panel voice saying 'Watch! It'll shrink, then expand!' continuing the bit of demonstrating the universe like a toy.
