Description

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

Panel 1:
Person 1: "IF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS JUST ENERGY WOBBLES, WHAT’S THE POINT OF IT ALL?"
Person 2: "I FIGURE IT'S SORT OF LIKE WATCHING A LAVA LAMP."

Panel 2:
Person 2: "THE LAMP MAKES RANDOM WAX BUBBLES, SURE. BUT, NOW AND THEN YOU GET A REALLY LONG ONE; OR A REALLY FAT ONE; OR A REALLY LUMPY ONE; OR A COUPLE AT ONCE, AND YOU WANNA SEE IF THEY CONNECT OR STAY APART."

Panel 3:
Person 2: "PROBABLY AT LEAST A COUPLE TIMES IN YOUR LIFE, THE WOBBLES TURN UP AN ADVENTURE, OR LOVE, OR SOMETHING WONDERFUL AND GROTESQUE, AND IT'S MOSTLY OUT OF YOUR CONTROL, BUT IT’S FUN TO WATCH."

Panel 4:
Person 2: "I SUPPOSE THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU'RE ALSO ONE OF THE WAX BUBBLES, AND YOU DON’T KNOW IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE ONE OF THE GOOD ONES OR NOT, BUT I REALLY WANNA BE ONE OF THE GOOD ONES."

Panel 5:
Person 1: "DO YOU THINK SALLY LIKES ME? SALLY FROM HOMEROOM?"

Panel 6:
Person 2: "SHE PULLED YOUR HAIR, WHICH MEANS SHE LIKES YOU. BUT, SHE EXPRESSES AFFECTION BY PULLING HAIR, SO YOU PROBABLY DON’T WANT TO BE WITH HER."

Panel 7:
(The scene shows two people looking at the stars.)

Panel 8:
Person 2: "I THINK YOU’RE ONE OF THE GOOD WOBBLES."

Panel 9:
(The second person smiles.)
Person 2: "I THINK YOU’RE ONE OF THE GOOD WOBBLES."
