A two-panel comic. Panel 1: A grinning man leans toward a small child and says, "Hey, wanna hear a fun fact about space?" The child replies, "Sure!" Panel 2: The man, now with a sly grin, says, "On one of the rocky planets in this solar system, if you don't clean your room I'm gonna smash your laptop into tiny pieces." A caption beneath reads: "Fun Fact: Technically, all fun facts are space facts." The joke is that the threat is dressed up as a space fact because Earth is technically a planet in space. Votey (aftercomic): A character with just their wide eyes peeking up at the bottom of the panel declares in a speech bubble, "The harder I smash, the higher the specific impulse goes!" — leaning into the absurd rocket-science framing of smashing the laptop.
