Description

Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: Woman: Dear God, why does the arrow of time point in only one direction?
Man: It’s the only way that works. I’ll prove it.

Panel 2: Woman: Remember that time you were in the break room getting coffee and Dave came in?
Man: Dave…

Panel 3: Narration: Dave, the attractive guy from the accounting department comes in looking forlorn. You ask why, then take a sip of coffee.
Woman: Oh my god.

Panel 4: Dave: He blurts out that he’d like to go on a date with you.
Dave: Would you like to get a drink Saturday?

Panel 5: Woman: No. No please.

Panel 6: Narration: You’re so surprised you gag and cough, and hot coffee spouts out of your nostrils like twin geysers, drenching all onlookers in red hot mucos.

Panel 7: Narration: Dave flees for the exit like a frightened deer as you shamble after him, wiping your leaking face on your blouse like a mythical sea-hag melting in the light of day.
Woman: Drink! Still want drink Saturday?

Panel 8: Narration: Now, imagine a universe in which it is possible for time to, at any moment, slow down, halt, then reverse direction hurtling you headlong toward that cataract of shame.
Woman: That would be hell.

Panel 9: Man: Wow! Lucky guess!
