Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic along with the transcribed text:

Panel 1: A man with short hair, wearing a light green shirt, is holding a piece of salami. He looks concerned and says, "There's mold on this salami." A thought bubble above him shows a smaller version of himself, asking, "Can I scrape it off and eat it?"

Panel 2: The background is yellow, and the text reads: "It’s probably fine! You’re hungry! EAT!" Below this, an icon representing "Emotion" appears, depicted as a sun.

Panel 3: The man looks more thoughtful and is informed, "Salami is not porous. Cut around the mold, and it should be safe." A sign in the background reads "REASON."

Panel 4: The man's expression shifts to contemplation. The text says, "If it kills you, your epitaph will be 'died eating moldy food.'" Shapes like arrows pointing to a prism illustrate the concepts of "STATUS" and "CONSCIOUSNESS."

Panel 5: The man seems to shrug off his worries as he puts the moldy salami into a trash bin while still looking somewhat indifferent.

This comic humorously discusses the conflict between emotional reactions and logical reasoning when it comes to food safety.
