An older bald man with glasses, a gray beard, a shirt and tie stands holding a large gun that has just fired, with a comic-book "BLAM!" starburst. His speech bubble reads "B IS WRONG!" A caption below reads, "Question: What's the quickest way to improve test scores? Answer: Process of Elimination." The joke puns on literally shooting wrong answers (and presumably the students who gave them) to eliminate them. Votey (a rough black-and-white aftercomic panel): the same man, still holding the gun, now looks worried and says, "Oh, crud. I think I'm using last year's answer key" - implying he just shot people who were actually correct.
