Description

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

Panel 1: A concerned aide is animatedly speaking to the President. The aide, with a short brown hairstyle and wearing a pink suit jacket, says: "MR. PRESIDENT! AN ASTEROID IS HEADED DIRECTLY FOR LOS ANGELES! WE HAVE 72 HOURS UNTIL IMPACT!"

Panel 2: The President, who has a bald head and is wearing glasses, replies emphatically: "GET ME A SCIENTIST!"

Panel 3: The scene transitions to a later time. The aide is on the phone and speaking excitedly. She says: "MY GOD! IT'LL HAVE A DESTRUCTIVE RADIUS OF HUNDREDS OF MILES. THERE'S NO TIME TO LOSE!"

Panel 4: A division shows the passage of time with a text noting: "71 HOURS LATER…"

Panel 5: The aide, still on the phone, smiles and says: "GREAT NEWS, MR. PRESIDENT! WE'VE SET UP ROBUST SEISMIC DETECTORS ALONG THE ENTIRE BLAST AREA!"

Panel 6: The President looks stressed and is holding a phone. He rests his hand on his forehead, appearing overwhelmed.

Panel 7: The aide, still happily on the phone, enthusiastically states: "THE DATA IS GONNA BE AMAZING!"

This comic uses humor to depict a scenario involving a dire situation and the prioritization of scientific data over immediate action. The visual elements, including character expressions and body language, contribute to the comic’s comedic effect.
