rocks

Main comic: A single panel shows a smiling man with glasses and dark hair speaking directly at the reader. His speech, written as a long run-on sentence, reads: "I like rocks and me and my friends look at rocks all the time and sometimes the rocks are heat and we tell our other friends about it and our friends also like rocks and sometimes we have rock parties and so now we know a lot about rocks." A caption beneath the panel reads: "The life of a scientist sounds way more fun when you describe it like you're a six year old." The joke is that real scientific work, restated in childlike language, sounds simple and fun. Votey (aftercomic): A black-and-white drawing of a sleepy-eyed person standing beside an open refrigerator that has two fish inside it. The person says, "I look at the fish and I'm like 'what're you guys doing in there eh?'" continuing the gag of describing a profession (marine biology) in naive, childlike terms.
