Description

Here’s a transcription of the text in the comic:

Panel 1:

• Woman: "Bobby, I want you to know that I love you unconditionally."

Panel 2:

• Woman: "Love is chemical in nature. If you love unconditionally, that means you have an unlimited supply of neurotransmitters, regardless of environmental conditions."

Panel 3:

• Woman: "So either you’ve got some sort of perpetual motion machine in your head that generates oxytocin, or you’re putting the horrible truth that everything in the cosmos is finite into some mental black box you call 'unconditional love.'"

Panel 4:

• Boy: "It’s the first one, Mommy Powers."
• Woman: "G’night, Bobby."

Panel 5:

• Boy: "Wowwww!"

Panel 6:

• (The final panel shows a dark room with the woman looking worried while the boy is in bed.)
