Description

Here's a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1:

• A machine or device, possibly a 3D printer, is shown on the left side.
• In the center, there is a jar containing a substance that looks like a brownish-paste with a gingerbread man figure partially embedded in it.
• The text reads: “FACT: IT IS NOW POSSIBLE TO 3D PRINT STRUCTURES DIRECTLY INTO THERMOPOLYMER.”

Panel 2:

• The same machine appears, but now it is directed towards a large egg.
• A light or heating element is aimed at the egg.
• The text states: “FACT: EGGS SOLIDIFY WHEN HEATED.”

Panel 3:

• The same egg is depicted under the machine.
• The machine emits light toward the egg.
• The text concludes: “CONCLUSION: IN PRINCIPLE, THIS SHOULD BE POSSIBLE.”
• Below the text, there is a speech bubble that says: “HOW COME EVERY TIME I CRACK EGGS NOW THE YOLK HAS THE FACE OF SATAN?”

Panel 4:

• Two characters are visible: a man with a worried expression and a woman with glasses.
• The man appears confused, while the woman responds calmly.
• Her speech bubble says: “I BELIEVE THAT’S ACTUALLY JUST WHEN YOU DON’T DO YOUR SHARE OF DISHES.”

The overall comic humorously discusses the absurdity of expectations versus reality in relation to cooking eggs and ties it to a light-hearted observation about household chores.
