Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1:

• The first character, a cartoonish figure with a round face and short hair, is holding a nose (likely his own). He exclaims: "GOT YER NOSE!"
• The second character, slightly older with a smooth face and slicked-back hair, responds with: "SORRY, YOUR NOSE IS NOW CONTAINED WITHIN AN INFINITELY COMPACTIFIED SPACETIME MANIFOLD."

Panel 2:

• The older character continues: "I BELIEVE IT STILL EXISTS, BUT IN ORDER TO BE CERTAIN TO FIVE SIGMAS, WE'D NEED MORE ENERGY THAN THE SUN HAS GENERATED IN THE LAST CENTURY AND A LINEAR COLLIDER RUNNING FROM HERE TO NEPTUNE."
• The first character is confused looking.

Panel 3:

• The first character has a determined expression and says: "fowndit" (found it).
• The older character reacts with surprise, proclaiming: "I CLAIM ACADEMIC PRIORITY IN THIS DISCOVERY!"

Both characters remain expressive throughout the comic, portraying a humorous interaction. The comic uses playful science references for comedic effect.
