That first panel is very similar to a real-life discovery that actually earned a Nobel Prize! A Bell Laboratories scientist and his engineer teammate, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, were working on a highly sensitive radio antenna and receiver when they detected some background radio waves that they couldn’t identify. They eliminated a bunch of potential sources and discovered a pigeon had made a nest in the large, horn-shaped, antenna. They thought that some pigeon poop was the source of the radio noise, so off these scientists go, diving into the horn to shoo away pigeons and scrape poop.
But the noise remained. They cleared a few other potential sources and found the noise was leftover energy from the Big Bang. That work earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Left panel. It really happened in 1964.

I really loved the large panel one! I’ve seen the first joke before, but the second one was really clever and original to me.

A lot of scifi stories about mannequins taken over by alien intelligence and then hunting humans down.
