A politician in a suit and red tie stands at a podium, pointing dramatically as he gives an impassioned speech. His speech bubble reads: "Women should be able to occupy the same space as men! Literally the same space! Fermionic bigotry must end!" Several audience members are seen from behind in the foreground. A caption beneath the panel reads: "Congressman Johnson comes out against Pauli Exclusion" — the joke being that he has reframed a quantum-physics principle (the Pauli exclusion principle, which forbids two fermions from occupying the same quantum state) as a civil-rights cause. In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of the same congressman's face declares: "We are not right or left, because I do not believe in parity violation!" — again turning a physics concept (parity violation) into a political slogan.
