Original: nothing on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

Panel 1:
First blob: Why is there nothing instead of something?
Second blob: What do you mean?
Panel 2:
First blob: Look around you. Did you see anything? OF IT IS THAT, BUT? COULDN'T THERE BE LIKE... STUFF?
Panel 3:
Second blob: "Stuff" is impossible.
First blob: Why?
Panel 4:
Second blob: Because if there were stuff, there wouldn't be nothing.
Panel 5:
First blob: Well, that seems a bit circular.
Panel 6:
Second blob: It can't be circular because circles don't exist.
First blob: Touche.
Votey:
Small blob: What are we, anyway?
Larger ring/donut shape: Shhh...

A six-panel comic shown as faint, ghostly white blobs against a black background, like indistinct forms in the dark, having a philosophical conversation. Panel 1: One blob asks, "Why is there nothing instead of something?" The other replies, "What do you mean?" Panel 2: The first says to look around, did you see anything, couldn't there be like... stuff? Panel 3: The second blob declares, "'Stuff' is impossible." The first asks, "Why?" Panel 4: "Because if there were stuff, there wouldn't be nothing." Panel 5: The first blob says, "Well, that seems a bit circular." Panel 6: The second blob answers, "It can't be circular because circles don't exist," and the first concedes, "Touche." Votey: A small fuzzy white blob asks "What are we, anyway?" while next to it a larger, clearly ring-shaped (circular donut) blob hushes it: "Shhh..." — the joke being that the circle that supposedly doesn't exist is right there.
