XKCD Web Comic #1039: RuBisCO (described)

A web comic of romance,
sarcasm, math, and language.

 

Panel One: Two stick figures are seated with their backs to each other. The one on the left is seated at a table with an open laptop. The figure on the right has shoulder-length dark hair and is seated in a comfy chair with an open book. Both are looking up and toward the left side of the panel.

Off panel (and strecthing across all three panels): “RIBULOSEBISPH. . .”

Panel Two: Same as Panel One except the figure on the right has half-turned to the left with an elbow against the back of the comfy chair.

From off panel (continued from Panel One):”. . .OSPHATECARBOXYL. . .”

Panel Three: Same as Panel One except both figures have turned back to their laptop and book.

From off-panel (continued from Panel Two)”. . . ASEOXYGENASE!”

Off panel: “Oh, sorry!”

Person 2: Man, chemists pick the worst safewords.

Hover text: Bruce Schneier believes safe words are fundamentally insecure and recommends that you ask your partner to stop via public key signature.
