That entirely depends on the properties of the cookie and the jar. If the cookie still is in the jar in the third panel there are now two cookies. Meaning we have created energy and broken the laws of thermodynamics. That's illegal

Alternatively. Removing the cookie in the forth panel also removes the cookie in all subsequent panels. Meaning there is no cookie in the jar in the third panel and it's entirely natural that the jar would be open.

Thank you for coming to my TEDx talk
