salad-2

A single-panel comic. A person with long dark hair and glasses, in an orange shirt and gray pants, stands facing a green chalkboard covered in dense physics equations and symbols (phi, psi, integrals, brackets). Their speech bubble reads: "Thus, we arrive at the conclusion that one could go to a pay-by-weight salad bar and earn money by eating cheese, which is clearly impossible." A caption beneath reads: "Disproving the idea of negative mass was remarkably easy." The joke: a rigorous physics proof against negative mass reduces to the absurd economic consequence of getting paid to eat. Votey (aftercomic): plain hand-lettered text reading "If physics is the most fundamental science, how come physicists have to obey economic law?"
