Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1: A scientist is speaking to someone off-screen while being photographed. The text reads: "IF YOU'RE A SCIENTIST, NOW AND THEN, YOU GET INTERVIEWED AND PHOTOGRAPHED."

Panel 2: An off-screen voice asks, "FOR MANY SCIENTISTS, THEIR WORK DOESN'T PHOTOGRAPH WELL." The scientist replies, "COULD YOU PUT ON GOGGLES AND A LABCOAT?" A third character, a child, says, "I WRITE CODE TO ANALYZE MICROMETEORITE TRAJECTORIES." The question, "WILL THE CODE FIT IN AN ERLENMEYER FLASK?" appears in the dialogue.

Panel 3: The text states, "SO, USUALLY PHOTOS ARE STAGED IN WAYS THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE."

Panel 4: A scientist and the child are now shown again. The child says, "GIVEN THAT SENSE ISN'T NECESSARY… WHY NOT DO WHATEVER WE LIKE?" The child then asks, "CAN YOU PHOTOGRAPH ME LOADING THIS INTO A PICKUP TRUCK?" Meanwhile, an adult dressed as a scientist holds a sign reading "SCIENCE (200 kilograms)."

The comic features whimsical dialogue and playful illustrations that highlight the humorous aspects of scientific photography.
