In a surreal blend of whimsy and chemistry, imagine a bustling New Year's Eve street scene that borrows its vibrancy from a colorful comic strip. In the center, a group of cartoonish characters, reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes with exaggerated expressions and playful antics, gather around a peculiar parade float. The float is an oversized chemistry flask with bubbling, effervescent liquid inside, nodding to R. Crumb's quirky yet detailed line work. Emerging from the flask is a spectacular firework display, each explosion made of PFAS molecules with their intricate atomic structures illuminated in dazzling colors against the night sky. The molecules form kaleidoscopic shapes that resemble both fireworks and snowflakes, drawing inspiration from Winsor McCay’s dreamlike intricacies. On the ground, Astro Boy-inspired robots join humans in celebration, sporting banners that read, "Merry PFAS and a Happy New Year!" in a bold, dynamic font akin to Hergé’s clean and clear lettering. In the background, towering Art Deco-style skyscrapers reminiscent of Will Eisner’s cityscapes are festooned with strings of fairy lights that twinkle like stars. Amongst the crowd, a comic-like penguin, with the charm of a Peanuts character, balances precariously on a ball, holding a sparkler. In the corners of the scene, details emerge with Gary Larson’s humor, like a cow peeking through a window wearing party hats or a mischievous cat attempting to bat at the fireworks. It's a vibrant, busy tableau of celebration and chemical wonder, telling a surreal story of new beginnings and curious connections.

Generated with these themes: PFAS molecules shaped as firework and the text "Merry PFAS and a happy new year".
