Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1:
A blank panel with text at the top that reads, "WHAT IT'S LIKE TO READ 1950s SCIENCE FICTION."

Panel 2:
A character, a man with a mustache, is shown in space inside a futuristic spaceship. He is speaking with a sarcastic tone. The text reads, "NOW THAT THE MUON FUSION DRIVE IS RUNNING AND THE QUANTUM TELEPORTER IS FLUXING, WHERE'S MY LUNCH, WOMAN?" A distant planet is visible through a window.

Panel 3:
The man is holding a smoking pipe and looking annoyed, while a woman stands next to him, hands on her hips. She asks, "CAN WE HAVE ONE OF THE DROIDS FIX LUNCH? THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM."

Panel 4:
The man replies angrily, "THOSE ARE BOY ANDROIDS!" He has a frustrated expression, and the woman looks surprised.

The comic features a humorous critique of the gender roles often depicted in mid-20th century science fiction. The art style is clean with bold lines and characters with exaggerated expressions. The setting includes futuristic elements like droids and space travel motifs.
