A single-panel comic. A man cradling a lump of pale bread dough has his eyes closed and mouth open in grand, theatrical proclamation, declaring: "BEHOLD! It finds itself in a world of potential and plenty, only to realize the haste of its consumption only speeds its demise." Behind him a woman with long dark hair looks on with a flat, unimpressed expression. A caption beneath the panel reads: "The main reason to make yeastbread is that it's a metaphor for humanity." The humor is the man's overwrought philosophizing about a loaf of dough. Votey (aftercomic): a simple sketch of a rounded loaf of bread with the handwritten words "THIS IS EDEN" above it, extending the grandiose metaphor.
