A two-panel comic titled "PEOPLE ARE WEIRD." In the first panel, a frowning woman in a yellow tank top sits and thinks, "I want to be a painter, but I don't want to practice every day." In the second panel, a glum woman in a gray business suit thinks, "I don't want to be a corporate lawyer, but I'm putting in weekends for it." The joke contrasts how people avoid effort for what they want yet pour effort into what they don't. Votey (aftercomic): a woman with curly hair sits thinking, "Why isn't everyone a dirty joke writer?"
