Here's the detailed description of the comic:

Top Panel:

• A character, dressed in formal clothing and a top hat, stands at the center. They are holding a recording cylinder and addressing a group.
• Text: "THIS IS A RECORDING CYLINDER FROM THE YEAR 1897. NO ONE KNOWS WHENCE IT CAME. SOME SAY IT CONTAINS SOUNDS… FROM THE NETHERWORLD."

Middle Panel:

• The same character is seen with a playful smile, standing next to a large gramophone with a horn.
• Some members of the audience look surprised or intrigued.

Bottom Panel:

• The scene shifts to "SOME YEARS EARLIER…"
• Two characters are depicted; one is excited and asks, "HEY, WANNA RECORD OURSELVES DOING IT?"
• The other replies, "I'LL GET FRANKLIN TO CRANK THE DICTAPHONE!"
• One character is clapping, while the other is animatedly responding.

The comic uses humor and references to historical recording technology.
