Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1: A laboratory setting features a rat with an electrode attached to its head. The rat, depicted in a cartoonish style, has a neutral expression and is pressing a button labeled "Pleasure." A woman in a lab coat, appearing excited, says, "Isn't it amazing? It just sits there motionless, pressing the pleasure button."

Panel 2: A cartoon character, who is presumably an enthusiastic researcher, is shown thinking, "It's crazy. I'm gonna post about it on Facebook. First, let me see how my peers are doing." The character has a thoughtful expression, holding a device resembling a tablet.

Panel 3: In a contrasting scene, two aliens (depicted with green skin and large heads) watch a similar setup. One alien is saying, "Isn't it amazing? It just sits there motionless, pressing the pain button." They observe another creature in front of them, who is seemingly experiencing discomfort.

The comic plays with the themes of curiosity and contrasting responses to technology and pleasure versus pain.
