Truly, A Foolproof Plan

April 21, 2017 by David Faulkner in Cartoons, Just for fun Comments Off on Truly, A Foolproof Plan

One of our favorite cell biology-based joke comics. If you know the source, let us know!

A comic in which a prisoner receives a box in his prison cell. his cellmate asks, "whatcha got there Jim?" to which Jim responds "transport proteins." Over the next three panels Jim passes through the cell wall, a pun on the biological function of transport proteins, which facilitate the movement of molecules across cellular membranes (or walls) in cells and microorganisms.
