Description

Comic Description:

Panel 1:
A man with a round head and a suit stands at a podium, speaking to an audience. The audience is mostly silhouette figures with no distinct features. The text from the speaker reads:
"AND THUS IT IS CLEAR THAT HUMANS ARE UNIQUE. ONLY WE CAN USE COMPLEX LANGUAGE, AND THEREFORE ONLY WE CAN BUILD COMPLEX CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS THAT ALLOW FOR LARGE SCALE SOCIAL MOBILIZATION, SUCH AS RELIGION, STATEHOOD, AND WARMING."

Background:
Behind the audience, a series of claps is depicted, with the text "clap" repeated multiple times in a diagonal pattern.

Panel 2:
A close-up of two characters from the audience: one with glasses and dark hair is smiling, while the other has light brown hair and a neutral expression. The text reads:
"FOOLED. WE HAVE UTTERLY FOOLED THEM."

Panel 3:
Two dolphins wearing suits are depicted, and one is holding a microphone. The dolphin on the left speaks with a somewhat sinister expression:
"THE CONQUEST SHALL BE SWIFT."

Overall Theme:
The comic humorously portrays a contrast between a serious human lecture about uniqueness and the unexpected reveal that dolphins are plotting a conquest.
