Description

Comic Description:

The comic features three characters, all bearded men dressed in ancient-looking tunics. They are engaged in a conversation.

1. Panel 1:
   • The left character, with long red hair and a beard, exclaims, "PFF! Give up. There'll never be a sustained fire reaction."
2. Panel 2:
   • The middle character, who is darker-haired and looks thoughtful, responds, "Fire is always 'fifty years away.' Truth is, you can't rub the sticks together fast enough."

Bottom Caption:

• The image is framed with a black border, and at the bottom it reads: "Early fusion skeptics."

The background is a simple blue color. The characters are discussing the concept of fire, using humor to critique the challenges of achieving it.
