Panel 1 (single panel):
A large, blank white canvas hangs on a purple gallery wall. Text written on the canvas reads:
"IT'S A PAINTING. ANYONE BRAVE ENOUGH TO SAY OTHERWISE?"
In the bottom-right corner of the canvas, a price tag reads: "$500,000".
Two men stand before the canvas, viewing it. One man (older, balding, in a brown jacket) has a hand on the shoulder of the other man (in a blue jacket).
Caption below the comic:
""This piece comes from Picasso's 'f**king with the art community' period."
Votey:
A blank white canvas/sticky-note shape on a black background. Hand-lettered text reads:
"IT'S A VOTEY COMIC"
A price tag in the bottom-right corner reads: "$500,000".

A webcomic mocking the art world. The single panel shows a large blank white canvas hanging on a purple gallery wall. Written on the otherwise empty canvas is the text: "IT'S A PAINTING. ANYONE BRAVE ENOUGH TO SAY OTHERWISE?" A tiny price tag in the corner reads $500,000. Two men in jackets stand before it; the older one rests a hand on the other's shoulder as they contemplate it. The caption reads: "This piece comes from Picasso's 'f**king with the art community' period." The joke: the painting is literally nothing but a defiant dare, sold for a fortune. The votey (bonus panel) repeats the gag self-referentially: another blank canvas reads "IT'S A VOTEY COMIC" with the same $500,000 price tag, mocking the comic itself as overpriced empty art.
