Description

Here is the transcription of the comic text:

Panel 1:

• Character 1: "Saltwater taffy is proof that the ocean is beautiful and sublime."
• Character 2: "How so?"
• Character 3: "Do you like taffy?"

Panel 2:

• Character 4: "I guess I don't normally buy it."
• Character 5: "Can you imagine buying off-brand taffy, rolling it in salt, and eating it?"

Panel 3:

• Character 6: "And yet here we are, buying it, eating a whole box. Why a whole box in one sitting? Because when we've had it from the ocean, it'll no longer be desirable."

Panel 4:

• Character 7: "There is some alternate reality where people stare at oceans and eat pickled fish-eyes or cotton candy beef jerky. It's salted taffy."

Panel 5:

• Character 8: "This licorice chew that I'm about to eat… it is humanity's proof to itself that we will never reckon wholly with the profundity of nature… that there will always be beauty enough… and mystery enough…"

Panel 6:

• Character 9: "God it tastes like shit."
