Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1: A scientist speaking to a female colleague in a laboratory setting, with large glass tanks containing dolphins in the background. The scientist says, "It took decades, but we recorded every sound dolphins can make, then analyzed the subset they use regularly."

Panel 2: The scene shifts to a dolphin in the tank, while the scientist continues, "With behavioral analysis, we slowly built up a vocabulary, then a syntax, then a complete grammar." The dolphin is depicted making sounds, represented as "ee- ee- ee- ee- ee!"

Panel 3: The female colleague appears surprised as she converses with the dolphin. She says, "At last, we could speak." The dolphin responds, "How come you guys never wear clothes?"

Panel 4: A shocked expression is depicted on the dolphin's face with the text "HOLY SHIT!" in a speech bubble.

Panel 5: A separate scene shows a dolphin wearing a hat and a fish swimming by, with a caption stating, "They are more civilized now, but are they happier?"

This comic combines humor with a commentary on communication and societal norms.
