Main comic: A single panel shows a man with long dark hair and a ruffled Elizabethan collar (implied to be Shakespeare) seated at his desk, writing on a sheet of paper with a feather quill. A thought bubble above him reads, "DAMMIT! NOTHING RHYMES WITH 'DOIN' YOU." The caption below reads: "Shakespeare eventually gave up on sonnets." The joke is that the great poet is stumped by crude modern slang. Votey (aftercomic): A loose black-and-white line drawing of a man's face in close-up, with a line of text above his head reading, "Language is so limited."
