106: Entropy's Victory - July 8, 2024 (M)

Panel 1

[Pilcrow and the Asterism are in the kitchen of the Black Manor where Pilcrow is sipping on tea while Asterism waits for toast to pop. They are in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo.]

Pilcrow: "Gah! This tea is cold already! You win again, entropy."

Panel 2

[Toaster pops out its toast.]

The Asterism: "Burnt! This mundane device betrays me yet again!"

Panel 3

[Pilcrow smiles in amusement.]

Pilcrow: "Perhaps your efforts would be better directed towards unraveling the fabric of reality."

Panel 4

Asterism: "You're in no position to criticize. Maybe try reheating that tea?"

[Pilcrow takes another sip.]

Pilcrow: "Meh. One must learn to embrace the inevitable heat death of the Universe, dear Asterism."
