4 panel comic.

1. (double wide) Underwater scene with a couple of plant like things and some small blobs speaking to each other.
Blob 1: Now that we're multicellular, what are your plans? I'm gonna evolve little legs and swim around with them!
Blob 2: I'm gonna evolve sharp pincers and use them crunch stuff!
Blob 3: I'm gonna evolve glands to make string from my butt and use it to construct elaborate geometric nets hundreds of times my size to catch other animals.

2. Zoom in to just the blobs, no more plant like things visible. No speaking.

3. Blob 1: Dude.
Blob 2: Can you *please* just be normal about this?
Blob 3: What ??! 370efaaae83d1a24.png xkcd comic (alt text in progress) afda38f13eaa34d5.png xkcd comic (alt text in progress) 68e99d04a4452efe.png Single panel comic.

A drawing of the earth with a single satellite around it. The satellite's path is traced by a dotted line that looks like a standard elliptical orbit on one side and on the other turns into a straight line with basically right angles. 

Lower caption: All Keplerian orbits are conic sections. For example, this one uses the base of the cone. 6ad73d92eb061d75.png Single panel comic.
