Panel 1:
A red-haired girl with glasses sits at a computer, typing, with an annoyed expression.
Text on screen: "We students shouldn't be bound by a ludicrous, arbitrary, insulting grading system, in which we're reduced to a single letter with a plus or minus sign!"
Panel 2:
A teacher stands at a chalkboard (which shows an essay outline: "Intro.", "Body paras:" with arrows pointing to "1", "2", "3") handing back a paper to the red-haired girl. Another red-haired student with glasses stands to the right holding a paper.
Teacher: "GREAT ESSAY, SUSIE."
The returned paper is stamped with a red "A+".
Panel 3:
Wide shot of a classroom. The red-haired girl walks holding her paper. A dark-haired boy sits at a desk with a paper stamped with a red "F".
Panel 4:
The red-haired girl, smiling, addresses the dark-haired boy.
Girl: "SO WHAT DID YOU GET, BOBBY?"
Votey:
Caption: "FACT: ALL CHILDREN ARE NAMED BOBBY OR SUSIE."

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a red-haired girl with glasses types angrily at a computer; the screen reads, "We students shouldn't be bound by a ludicrous, arbitrary, insulting grading system, in which we're reduced to a single letter with a plus or minus sign!" Panel 2: a teacher at a chalkboard (showing an essay outline) hands her back a paper stamped with a red A+, saying "Great essay, Susie." Panel 3: she walks through the classroom while a dark-haired boy sits with a paper stamped with a red F. Panel 4: smiling, she turns to him and asks, "So what did you get, Bobby?" The joke: she rails against the grading system only when she's winning at it, then smugly rubs it in. Votey: a handwritten caption reads, "FACT: ALL CHILDREN ARE NAMED BOBBY OR SUSIE."
