Panel 1:
A man with glasses and dark wavy hair reads an open book, scowling.
Man: UGH. ANOTHER GRAMMAR ERROR. OH AND IT'S IN A RUN-ON SENTENCE. WHY DO THEY EVEN LET UNEDUCATED PEOPLE WRITE?
Panel 2:
The same man looks down with a grim, deflated expression at the book he is now holding open in front of him. The book's cover reads:
Book title: THE SUN ALSO RISES
Votey:
Close-up of the man's face, eyes closed in pained dismay.
Man: OH MY GOD. SHAKESPEARE MISSPELLED EVERYTHING.

A two-panel comic. Panel 1: a man with glasses and dark wavy hair reads a book and complains smugly, "Ugh. Another grammar error. Oh and it's in a run-on sentence. Why do they even let uneducated people write?" Panel 2: he looks down, grim and humbled, as the cover of the book he's reading is revealed to be "The Sun Also Rises" (the Ernest Hemingway classic he was criticizing). Votey aftercomic: a close-up of his face, eyes shut in dismay, as he says, "Oh my God. Shakespeare misspelled everything." The joke skewers people who confuse stylistic license in great literature with errors by uneducated writers.
