Panel 1

[Pilcrow and the Asterism are sitting in a Victorian library loaded with books in the Black Manor in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo. Pilcrow is wearing his mustard-colored suit, and the Asterism is wearing a gray dress. They're both holding books.]

The Asterism: "Dear Pilcrow, how do we feel after reading this month's book club book, on the topic of quantum mechanics?"

Pilcrow: "Despite my endless and transdimensional existence, I admit I am both confused and not confused at the same time."

Panel 2

The Asterism: "Indeed, creation is a cosmic conundrum, concealed in a cloak of scientific sorcery."

Panel 3

Pilcrow: "I feel like the cat in that box – alive with curiosity, dead with confusion."

Panel 4

The Asterism: "Perhaps the beauty lies in the bewilderment."

Pilcrow: "I suggest that next month's book be one that sticks to simpler mysteries, like determining the end of a circle."
