A single-panel comic. On the right, a young man with reddish-brown hair excitedly addresses two older men dressed in formal 19th-century clothing with full beards. He says: "Wait wait wait. What if we assume the universe is a garbage place that never does any work for free, and then examine how physics would operate?" A caption beneath reads: "The origin of thermodynamics." The joke is that the founding insight of thermodynamics is framed as cynically assuming the universe is stingy and lazy. Votey (bonus panel): a minimalist smiley-face character with a slight frown declares in a big speech bubble, "Oh neat, turns out things tend to get worse!" — a nod to entropy always increasing.
