Panel 1:
A man holding a lump of bread dough, eyes closed in grandiose oration, speaks to a skeptical-looking woman standing behind him.

Man: "BEHOLD! IT FINDS ITSELF IN A WORLD OF POTENTIAL AND PLENTY, ONLY TO REALIZE THE HASTE OF ITS CONSUMPTION ONLY SPEEDS ITS DEMISE."

Caption (below panel): The main reason to make yeastbread is that it's a metaphor for humanity.

Votey:
Handwritten text floats above a drawing of a domed loaf of bread.
Text: "THIS IS EDEN."

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.
