Description

Here’s a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic:

Panel 1: Two characters are talking. The first character is a girl with brown hair and a headband, wearing a pink top. She says, "People are so agitated today. I wonder if they would relax if they read more history." The second character, with curly black hair and glasses, is listening thoughtfully.

Panel 2: The second character responds, "When you know enough history, you stop seeing yourself as an endpoint and more of a midpoint, you know? Tossed to where you are by the past, casting your own waves out at future generations, don't you think?" The first character looks skeptical and responds with "Nah."

Panel 3: The scene changes slightly, and the first character continues, "If people read more history, they'd be far more relaxed about the short term and far more terrified of the long term."

Panel 4: The second character reflects, "The long term will not only kill them, it will make their social views quaint, their greatest concerns trivial, and their scope of reality into an anthill built in a heap of dung."

Panel 5: The setting shows a snowy landscape. One character remarks, "Tomorrow's news will be the same as today’s, but history will one day shame them, mock them, and finally, like a clipped toenail, cast them aside."

Panel 6: The two characters stand together, looking contemplative. One asks, "Well, what should we read if we want to be happy?" The other replies, "I stick to comics, personally."

The comic explores themes of history, perspective, and the role of comics in finding happiness.
