Description

Comic Description:

The comic opens with a bold text header displaying two "FACT" statements.

1. The first fact states:
   • "FACT - 'PUMPKIN SPICE' IS JUST A SPICE MIX USED FOR PUMPKIN PIE. IT HAS NO INTRINSIC RELATION TO PUMPKINS."
2. The second fact states:
   • "FACT - MANY DISHES MAKE USE OF THE SAME SET OF SPICES, INCLUDING A VARIETY OF MEAT DISHES."

Below these facts, there is a dialogue exchange. The first character, a man with curly orange hair and glasses, wearing a black suit, stands at a counter. He is seen gesturing towards the staff while holding a cup.

His dialogue reads:

• "HI, I’D LIKE A LARGE PORK-SPICE CAPPUCCINO."

A second character, a barista with darker skin, is visible on the right, appearing bemused by the request.

At the bottom of the comic, there is an additional statement (in smaller text):

• "FROM WHICH IT FOLLOWS - WE COULD HAVE LIVED IN THIS BETTER WORLD, BUT CHOSE NOT TO:"

The overall tone of the comic juxtaposes facts about spices with a humorous and absurd request.
