Description

Comic Description:

• Panel 1: A man is speaking, saying, "I’m developing a beer gut." A woman responds, "Oh, relax. You're fine." The man continues, "No, I mean I’m evolving a specialized intestinal structure just for processing beer."

• Panel 2: The man adds, "I have an island of kidnapped human beings where the only nutritional resource is beer." There is a small panel to the side that shows some little humans with beer. He continues, "The beer stream is seeded with cesium-137 in order to encourage novel mutations."

• Panel 3: The man talks again: "In time, a new branch of Homo sapiens will sprout, with a distinct gastrointestinal tract for the consumption of barley-derived alcoholic beverages." The woman appears unimpressed.

• Panel 4: The man exclaims, "And then… THEN I will have created a pretty okay pun! AHAHAHAHA!"

• Panel 5: The man is laughing loudly. The text in this panel has him saying "HAHAHA!"

• Panel 6: The woman now asks, "How are you paying for this?"

• Panel 7: The man confidently replies, "Can I interest you in a longterm investment?"

The comic has a lighthearted theme around beer, evolution, and puns.
