A hand-drawn webcomic with the banner title "'RICH' IS HARD TO DEFINE." The single panel shows a line graph. The vertical axis is labeled "% OF POSSESSIONS THAT COULD TELL STORIES" and the horizontal axis is labeled "WEALTH." The curve climbs from a middling value, peaks at a low-to-moderate level of wealth, and then falls off steadily toward zero at high wealth, implying that the rich own many impersonal, story-less things. Votey (aftercomic): a man with messy hair and stubble says in a speech bubble, "THE MORAL IS: BUY MORE SPEAKING ROBOTS."
