A yellow banner across the top reads "HOW TO MAKE A RUSSIAN LITERATURE PROFESSOR CRY IN 3 SECONDS:". Below, a single panel shows the side profile of a bald, bearded man in glasses (the professor) filling the left foreground. Behind him, a young woman holding a sheet of paper says cheerfully, "HUH. I DON'T SEE ANY AYN RAND ON THE SYLLABUS." The professor's pained expression sells the dismay. Votey (a black-and-white aftercomic): a close-up of the same smiling woman adding, "OOH! 'CRIME AND PUNISHMENT' IS MY FAVORITE TV SHOW!" — a second clueless gut-punch, treating Dostoevsky's novel as a cop TV drama.
