Panel 1:
A woman scientist (white lab coat, dark hair pulled back) speaks excitedly to a man with curly hair.
Woman: "I've done it! I have figured out a way to use radioactive decay to convert nuclear nodules into dairy products!"
Panel 2:
The man responds, looking impressed but puzzled.
Man: "I mean... that's amazing! But why that in particular?"
Panel 3:
A glowing box of macaroni & cheese is shown. A label/banner across the top reads "QUANTUM SUPERPOSITION OF" above the words "MACARONI & CHEESE!". Below the box, text reads "COLLAPSE THE FLAVE-FUNCTION" (a pun on "wave-function," with "FLAVE" styled like a flavor/wave hybrid).
Votey:
A yellow sticky-note-style panel with hand-lettered text: "WITH MANY WORLDS OF SODIUM!"

A three-panel comic. Panel 1: a woman in a lab coat excitedly tells a curly-haired man, "I've done it! I have figured out a way to use radioactive decay to convert nuclear nodules into dairy products!" Panel 2: the man replies, "I mean... that's amazing! But why that in particular?" Panel 3: a glowing box of macaroni and cheese sits beneath a banner reading "Quantum Superposition of MACARONI & CHEESE!" with the caption "COLLAPSE THE FLAVE-FUNCTION" below it, punning on the quantum-physics term "wave-function." The joke combines particle physics with boxed mac and cheese. Votey (a yellow sticky-note panel): hand-lettered text reading "WITH MANY WORLDS OF SODIUM!", riffing on the "many-worlds" interpretation of quantum mechanics and the high sodium content of instant mac and cheese.
