Description

Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1:

• Kid: "I wish there were puppies all over the place."
• Adult: "But don't you see? With science… there are!"

Panel 2:

• Adult: "Dogs are mostly made of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and hydrogen."
• Adult: "And guess what? Air is made of the same stuff!"

Panel 3:

• Adult: "Because atoms are physically indistinct, there's no difference between a dog carbon atom and an air carbon atom."

Panel 4:

• Adult: "So dogs are everywhere! Above you, behind you, in the day, in the night, in the closet, on the ceiling, under the bed."
• Adult (continued): "Why… so to speak, every time you eat, you're eating a puppy! Every time you breathe, you're inhaling a puppy."

Panel 5:

• Kid: "That's horrifying."
• Adult: "Hey, don't thank me. Thank science."

Panel 6:

• Kid: "I didn't thank you."
• Kid (continued): "Sound waves are also interchangeable!"
