Panel 1:
A man with light brown hair in a yellow polo shirt sits on the floor against a wall, hands raised defensively, looking distressed.
Man (Professor Talbot): "WHAT I SAID WASN'T RACIST! RACISM ISN'T ABOUT THE ARBITRARY SOUNDS THAT MAKE UP A WORD OR PHRASE! IT'S ABOUT INTENT!"
Looming over him are angry figures, one holding a baseball bat and another holding a knife.
Caption: And Professor Talbot had never intended to get the crap beat out of him by a crowd of pissed off Armenians.
Votey:
A smiling man gestures and speaks.
Man: "APPRECIATE MY PERSPECTIVE!"

A two-part comic. Main panel: a distressed man with light brown hair in a yellow polo shirt sits cornered on the floor against a red wall, hands raised defensively. He pleads in a speech bubble, "What I said wasn't racist! Racism isn't about the arbitrary sounds that make up a word or phrase! It's about intent!" Looming menacingly over him are angry figures, one wielding a baseball bat and another a knife. The caption below reads: "And Professor Talbot had never intended to get the crap beat out of him by a crowd of pissed off Armenians." The joke: his abstract argument that intent is what matters is undercut by an angry mob about to beat him regardless. Votey: a black-and-white drawing of a smug, smiling man gesturing as he says, "Appreciate my perspective!"
