Description

Here is the detailed, accurate, disability-friendly description of the comic:

Panel 1: A well-dressed man (the President) sits at a table with another man (a scientist) who is holding a piece of paper. The scientist has a serious expression and is saying, "Mr. President! A black hole is approaching Earth at near light speed."

Panel 2: Focus on the scientist, who looks grave. He states, "There is no means of escape for any human being," while the President looks concerned.

Panel 3: The scientist continues, "The Academy of Sciences and Academy of Arts joined together to send a group message into the heavens." The President listens intently, with a slight frown.

Panel 4: A new, dark scene featuring two shadowy figures. One figure asks, "How'd it go?" to which the other replies, "Not great."

Panel 5: A view of Earth spiraling toward a black hole. Two open books float in space. One book reads "SCIENCE IS BORING" and the other reads "ART IS STUPID."
