Panel 1:
Man with flame-like reddish hair (speaking, off-panel speech bubble pointing toward him): INCH WORM? CHRIST, ARE WE IN THE DARK AGES? THIS IS A 1588*10^33 PLANCK-LENGTH WORM.
(A woman with curly hair and round glasses stands beside the man, looking at him.)
Caption below panel: Physicists make the worst naturalists.
Votey:
The same man (now drawn in a simple sketch style, looking smug/annoyed) continues: ALSO, WHY ARE YOU USING A ONE-DIMENSIONAL UNIT FOR A 3 DIMENSIONAL ENTITY? STUPID!

A two-tone comic. Main panel: a man with curly reddish (flame-like) hair stands next to a woman with curly hair and round glasses. A speech bubble from the man reads, "Inch worm? Christ, are we in the dark ages? This is a 1588*10^33 Planck-length worm." The woman gives him a flat, unimpressed look. A caption beneath reads: "Physicists make the worst naturalists." Votey (aftercomic), drawn as a rough sketch of the same smug man: "Also, why are you using a one-dimensional unit for a 3 dimensional entity? Stupid!" The joke: a physicist insists on absurdly over-precise, pedantic units to describe an ordinary inchworm.
