Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic along with its text:

Panel 1:

• Background: Light pink.
• Text: "TRAJECTOIDS ARE A CLASS OF SHAPE THAT, WHEN ROLLED, TRACE OUT A SPECIFIC PATH OF THE DESIGNER'S CHOICE."
• Image: A blue shape that looks like a rounded pebble with a thin line trailing off, depicting a wavy path.

Panel 2:

• Background: Light pink.
• Text: "HOWEVER, SOME PATHS ARE FORBIDDEN BECAUSE IN PRACTICE THEY COST TOO MUCH INERTIA."
• Image: A similar blue shape is shown with an arrow pointing to a twisted path that loops back on itself, indicating "loops! bad!".

Panel 3:

• Background: Light pink.
• Text: "THIS SUGGESTS THAT (A) YOU CAN MAKE AN OBJECT THAT TRACES OUT WORDS OF YOUR CHOICE, BUT (B) YOU CAN ONLY USE NON-LOOPING LETTERS: I, J, L, M, N, S, U, V, W, Z."
• Image: None; just plain text.

Panel 4:

• Background: Light pink.
• Text: "I HAVE NOTHING EXCITING TO ADD HERE, OTHER THAN THANK GOD FOR 3D PRINTERS."
• Image: None; just plain text.

Panel 5:

• Background: Light pink.
• Text: "YOU USED ADVANCED MODERN MATH TO MAKE A PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT KEEPS WRITING 'JIZZ' WHENEVER YOU ROLL IT."
• Image: None; just plain text.

Panel 6:

• Background: Light pink.
• Text: "EVERYONE GETS INTO SCIENCE FOR DIFFERENT REASONS."
• Image: Two cartoon characters are depicted. One has a bob haircut and is wearing a red shirt, while the other has wavy hair and is wearing a gray shirt.

The comic humorously discusses the concept of trajectory shapes and their applications, particularly in a 3D printing context, with a light-hearted tone.
