Panel 1: A balding professor, seen from behind, holds a handwritten paper and begins marking it with a pen. He has just written a red "F" at the top of the page.
Panel 2: The professor, now seen from the front (bald, round glasses, yellow shirt under a dark jacket), holds the paper and reads it.
Professor: MY GOD. THIS STUDENT CAN BARELY CONSTRUCT A SENTENCE. HE'S REALLY STRUGGLING WITH UNIVERSITY.
Panel 3: The professor rests his hand on his chin thoughtfully.
Professor: I BETTER FIND A WAY TO HELP HIM.
Panel 4: Back to the over-the-shoulder view of the paper. The professor finishes writing on it, and the red mark at the top now reads "A".
Votey:
A student with curly hair stands with eyes closed and arms folded smugly across his chest.
Student: TAKE THAT, IMAGINED EDUCATOR!

A four-panel comic about a kind professor. Panel 1: seen from behind, a balding professor holds a handwritten essay and writes a red "F" grade at the top. Panel 2: viewed from the front (round glasses, yellow shirt), he reads it and says, "My God. This student can barely construct a sentence. He's really struggling with university." Panel 3: hand on chin, thoughtful, he says, "I better find a way to help him." Panel 4: back to the over-the-shoulder view, he has crossed out the F and the red grade now reads "A." The joke: out of compassion, the professor inflates the failing grade to an A. Votey (aftercomic): a smug curly-haired student stands with eyes closed and arms crossed, declaring, "Take THAT, imagined educator!" — revealing the whole scene was the student's self-flattering fantasy.
