A man with brown hair wearing a dark jacket over a green turtleneck stands against a blue background, smiling slightly. His speech bubble reads: "And here, poor fool! With all my lore, I stand no wiser than before! But I did make some really good connections." These first lines parody Faust's famous opening monologue. A caption below reads: "Faust feels good about his MBA." The joke recasts Goethe's scholar-who-learned-nothing as a business-school networker. Votey (aftercomic, black-and-white sketch): a second man leaning back, with stubble, replies smugly, "Should've got a BA literature like me."
