Since it's stuck in a loop, maybe its conditions are somehow being reset to fresh and hot as it's pulled over the panel edge. Or else, that thing is ice cold, rock hard, and completely inhospitable to microbial life, since from its perspective, it's probably been looping for a long, long time.

From the naive perspective it's looping infinitely and it ought to be infinitely old because there's no "first loop". Depending on the laws of physics, proton decay could make the pizza slice literally impossible.

Given that it clearly exists and has no rot let alone deep-time decay, I posit that it spontaneously appears/renews in panel three, away from the boundary break, as some kind of near-infinitely improbable entropy break.

He thinks he's discovered panel time travel, but it's far weirder than he thinks.
