A comic in two rows. Top row, two panels: a scientist in a lab coat stares at a glowing green interdimensional portal on a dark wall and shouts, "OH MY GOD YOU'VE CREATED A STABLE INTERDIMENSIONAL VOID!" In the next panel a second scientist panics, gripping his head: "WE WILL BECOME NOTHING! IT'S PULLING OUR REALITY INTO IT!" A calm, thoughtful colleague replies, "YES... YES, BUT ONLY A LITTLE." A banner reads "LATER...". Bottom row: a store shelf filled with identical retail boxes, each showing a spiral graphic and labeled "FANLESS FAN — GENTLE BREEZES," with a sticker reading "Stale air made literally non-existant!" The joke: the world-ending void was commercialized into a fan product that creates a breeze by sucking away the air. Votey: a hand-lettered warning sign reads, "For the love of all that is holy DO NOT TOUCH."
