Description

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

Comic Description: The comic consists of four panels and features two characters engaged in a discussion.

• Panel 1: A woman with shoulder-length, wavy brown hair and wearing a blue shirt is speaking to another woman with curly hair, wearing a green shirt. The first woman says, "Did going to orbit change your life? Forever."

• Panel 2: The second woman responds, "As I watched our small blue planet from space, I realized – wow! The Earth is not the least bit fragile!"

• Panel 3: The first woman is shown with a slight smile, saying, "You could pour gigatons of pollution into the sky and from up there in the boundless sea of space… why… it wouldn’t look any different."

• Panel 4: The second woman, now gesturing happily, continues with, "You could dump mountains of radioactive plastic into the oceans, and Earth would just absorb it all and keep doing great!"

• Below, the first woman looks a bit disappointed and says, "I was really hoping for an inspirational quote. Can you just say 'up there you don’t see borders'?" The second woman replies, "Actually the one with North Korea is pretty distinct at night."

Comic Style: The art style is cartoonish, with exaggerated features and expressive faces, making the dialogue feel light-hearted despite the serious topics discussed.
