A single-panel SMBC comic. A yellow caption banner at the top reads: "SCIENCE COMMUNICATION PRO TIP: ANY ASPECT OF HUMANS CAN BE DRAMATICALLY ATTRIBUTED TO BEAUTIFUL ASPECTS OF THE COSMOS." Below, against a green background, a woman with dark bobbed hair, round white-lensed glasses, and a red jacket over a light blue shirt holds up one hand and speaks earnestly. Her speech bubble says: "WE ALONE ARE THE WAY THAT STARSTUFF WANKS ITSELF." The joke crudely parodies Carl Sagan-style cosmic-wonder phrasing ("we are the way the cosmos knows itself"). The votey (aftercomic) could not be included because its saved file is an HTML page rather than an image.
