coffee-3

A five-panel SMBC comic. A young child asks their bespectacled father, 'Daddy, why do you love coffee?' The father says, 'C'mere. Let me show you something,' sitting at a table with a coffee cup. He explains, 'When I pour in the cream, it mixes its smooth silky taste with the sharp roasted flavor of the coffee.' Pouring cream into the dark coffee, he continues, 'That reaction can never, never in the history of the cosmos, be undone.' With the child watching the steaming cup, he declares, 'This is entropy in progress, kid. We are sitting here together watching the universe die. And, by having hot coffee every morning, we make it die just a liiiiittle bit faster.' In the final panel, the child turns to the gray-haired mother and asks, 'Why does daddy want to make the universe die?' She answers, 'The universe started it!' Votey: A close-up of the father's grim, determined face as his voice declares, 'And I'm gonna end it, one microwave of coffee at a time...'
