Panel 1:
Teacher (a bespectacled man in a suit and tie, light glinting off his glasses): CHILDREN! MY GOODNESS, COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT TO SEE... ABSOLUTE CHAOS!
Panel 2:
A crowd of excited children grin and look on eagerly.
Panel 3:
Caption: AND SO...
Teacher (now bald, gesturing enthusiastically in front of a hanging double pendulum): DESPITE THE SIMPLICITY OF THE DOUBLE PENDULUM, ITS BEHAVIOR IS NON-LINEAR!
The children in the foreground look distinctly unimpressed.
Panel 4:
The teacher throws his arms up triumphantly: TECHNICALLY CHAOOOSSSSS!
The two children in the foreground stare back with flat, disappointed expressions.
Votey:
A cartoon dinosaur skeleton/dinosaur head looks up.
Speaker (off-panel, in a speech bubble): NOW, WHO WANTS TO SEE SOME SHITTY DINOSAURS, ALSO KNOWN AS BIRDS!

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a bespectacled teacher in a suit excitedly tells a group of children, "CHILDREN! MY GOODNESS, COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT TO SEE... ABSOLUTE CHAOS!" Panel 2: a crowd of kids grin in thrilled anticipation. Panel 3, captioned "AND SO...": the teacher stands before a hanging double pendulum and explains, "DESPITE THE SIMPLICITY OF THE DOUBLE PENDULUM, ITS BEHAVIOR IS NON-LINEAR!" The kids in front look unimpressed. Panel 4: the teacher throws his arms up and shouts "TECHNICALLY CHAOOOSSSSS!" while the deadpan children stare back, let down. The joke: he hyped "absolute chaos" but delivered a physics lecture on the mathematically chaotic double pendulum. Votey (aftercomic): a cartoon dinosaur looks up as an off-panel voice says, "NOW, WHO WANTS TO SEE SOME SHITTY DINOSAURS, ALSO KNOWN AS BIRDS!"
