A single-panel comic. In the foreground, a parent's head appears as a large black silhouette. The parent says, "BOBBY! STOP SMACKING YOUR SILVERWARE TOGETHER." Across the table sits Bobby, a child with curly dark hair wearing a pink shirt, holding a fork and spoon above a plate. Bobby replies, "I'M TRYING TO SEE IF THE COLLISION PRODUCES SMALLER, RARER SILVERWARE" (mimicking a particle collider smashing particles to find rarer ones). A caption below reads: "Later, Bobby received a diagnosis of Physicist." The votey (aftercomic) is a hand-drawn framed box of text reading: "The other sign was when he rounded up the two pieces of silverware to 10" — a joke about physicists' loose order-of-magnitude approximations.
