Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1:

• A woman with dark hair, wearing a green shirt, is speaking to a man with glasses and light brown hair wearing a gray sweater.
• The woman says, "Dave, I’m sorry I yelled at you earlier. It wasn’t me so much as my 'reptile brain,' you know?"

Panel 2:

• The man responds, "Actually there’s no good evidence for the 'triune brain' theory. There’s no deep atavistic brain region that governs instinctive or emotional behavior."

Panel 3:

• The woman clarifies, "Oh, no I mean the reptile brain I keep in a jar."

Panel 4:

• The man replies, "Ah."

Panel 5:

• The woman holds up a jar to emphasize her point, saying, "Reptile brain is angry at you, but I still feel love!"
• The jar appears to have a lid and contains something unspecified.

The overall theme touches on humor related to the concept of the "reptile brain" and emotional responses.
