title text: Our experiment will be expensive, but we believe it will produce important spin-offs, especially if we manage to hit the sun from the right angle.

Single panel comic. Person on a stage with a screen behind them. On the screen is a circle with a vibrating central dot and a dot outside the circle with an arrow crossing the circle and pointing at the central dot. Person says "A Thorne–Żytkow object is a hypothesized nested star--a red giant with a neutron star inside it. So far no TŻOs have been definitively observed, but your grant could help us change that." Lower caption "We're struggling to get funding for our project to slingshot a neutron star into the sun."
