A single-panel comic. A smug man in a black turtleneck stands with his arms crossed, declaring in a large speech bubble, "I USED INK AND PAPER!" Beside him a seated person wearing glasses examines a sheet of paper bearing a crude line drawing of a rabbit. The caption beneath reads: "Steve was a multimedia artist." The joke mocks pretentious art-speak, where the most basic medium (ink and paper) is grandly framed as "multimedia." Votey (small bonus panel): titled "YOUNG WEINER...", a cartoonish bearded young man (the author) holds a sheet of paper and proclaims, "Multimedia jokes will be funny forever!" — a self-deprecating jab that the joke might be dated.
