The Three Laws of Thermodynamics

An absurdist exploration of the dinner party and what happens when you break the delicate rituals and unspoken rules of gathering around a table.

Displayed in a printer's tray and therefore dictated by a preordained structure and sequence of panels (an isolated system), the comic is a story told in three acts:

Law 1: Energy cannot be created or destroyed

Law 2: Entropy always increases over time in an isolated system

Law 3: Entropy only stops increasing at absolute zero

When we apply the laws of thermodynamics paradigm to a dinner party, chaos and disorder are inevitable.
