Description

Sure! Here’s the text transcribed from the comic:

Panel 1: Person 1 (doctor): "Doctor… we have this pet physicist and… something's wrong. It keeps babbling about linguistics and neurology and climate science."

Panel 2: Person 2: "He’s a little old, isn’t he?" Person 1: "How'd you know?"

Panel 3: Person 2: "Well… the physicists mostly roll around in books. Once they reach maturity, they are productive and fun. But, well… as they get on in years, they reach the 'telling other fields they’re wrong about everything' phase."

Panel 4: Person 1: "There's nothing you can do. I'm afraid it's really best to… put him down." Person 2: "Oh no… no!"

Panel 5: Person 1: "Oh gosh, I… oh… gosh." Person 2: "Think it over. Remember, he’s suffering inside too."

Panel 6: Caption: "That evening…" Person 1: "Where're you going, honey?" Person 2: "I just want a few last moments with the ol' guy."

Panel 7: Pet physicist: "We had a lot of good times, boy." Person 2: "Climate models aren't reductionist enough. We can recreate the first language using statistics."

Panel 8: Person 1: "I know, buddy… I know…"
