Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Title: Science Advocates

Panel 1:

• Character 1: A man with light brown hair, wearing a dark blue blazer and a white shirt. He has a neutral expression while looking at the second character.
• Character 2: A man with darker hair wearing rectangular glasses, a purple jacket, and a white shirt. He is smiling and gesturing with his hands.
• Text:
  • Character 1: "Why is it important that we have trapped antimatter?"
  • Character 2: "Oh! It has future applications in propulsion, energy creation, data transmission, you name it!"

Panel 2:

• Character 1: The same man from the first panel, still holding a document and looking inquisitive.
• Character 2: A different man with medium brown hair and a beard, wearing a casual light yellow shirt. He has an enthusiastic expression.
• Text:
  • Character 1: "Why is it important that we have trapped antimatter?"
  • Character 2: "Because it's fucking awesome."

The comic humorously contrasts the detailed, formal explanations often given by advocates of science with the more casual, enthusiastic response of scientists.
