Panel 2
Sam looks up with a raised eyebrow. Alex (excitedly) Sam (rolling his eyes)
Sam: A comedy? Really? This is the SCP Foundation we're talking about. It's not a place for slapstick and humor, Alex. It's a place for… existential dread.
Alex: But Sam, it would be funny and relatable! Everyone can relate to trying to write a paper, even if it's about a sentient human-shaped blob!
Sam: Relatable? That's a low blow, Alex.

Robin: Hey guys, I found some notecards with ideas for comedy! Think of it, a comedy that’s so good, it’s horrifying!
Alex: That's the spirit, Robin! This comedy could be our big break.
Sam: Break from the existential horror that is the SCP Foundation?
Robin: Absolutely!
