Panel 1:
A man in a suit stands behind a podium on a stage in front of a red curtain, arms spread wide with thumbs up, addressing an audience.
Speaker (man at podium): "WE'VE FOUND A MATHEMATICAL STRUCTURE IN WHICH THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS MOVING AWAY FROM US PERSONALLY, AND AT THE SAME TIME WE ARE NOT THE LEAST BIT SPECIAL!"
The silhouetted audience in the foreground applauds.
Sound effect (repeated across the crowd): "clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap cl..."
Caption (below the comic): Cosmology is the most depressing science.
Votey:
Text at top: "ALSO EVERYTHING DIE COLD OR DIE CROODY EITHER DIE CRUNCHED!" (rough handwritten lettering, reading approximately: "ALSO EVERYTHING DIE COLD OR DIE CROODY / EITHER DIE CRUNCHED!")
Below, a small crudely drawn person with a speech bubble. The figure speaks an indistinct, scribbled line. A second small figure responds with another scribbled mutter.

A man in a suit stands at a podium on a stage before a red curtain, arms thrown wide with both thumbs up, triumphantly announcing: "We've found a mathematical structure in which the entire universe is moving away from us personally, and at the same time we are not the least bit special!" A silhouetted audience in the foreground claps enthusiastically, with "clap" sound effects scattered across the crowd. The caption beneath reads: "Cosmology is the most depressing science." The joke: the discovery is simultaneously isolating (everything fleeing from us) and humbling (we're not special), yet it's celebrated. Votey (aftercomic): a crudely hand-drawn doodle with rough text reading roughly "Also everything die cold or die crunched!" above tiny scribbled stick figures muttering indistinctly, riffing on the bleak ultimate fates of the universe (heat death vs. big crunch).
