layers

A two-part comic. In the main panel, a small child looks up at an elderly woman (Grammy) with a stern, intense face. The child asks why Grammy is inventing a way to convert coal into steam power. Grammy declares in capital letters, "EVERYONE MUST HAVE WARM LAYERS. EVERYONE! EVEN NATURE HERSELF!" A caption beneath the panel reads: "No one will ever believe the true cause of global warming" — the joke being that global warming is really an overbearing grandmother trying to keep the whole planet warm. In the votey aftercomic, the child protests, "But Grammy, we're not cold," and Grammy insists, "Yes you are. In fact, I'd better add a layer of methane."
