Panel 1:
A man with light-colored hair (the questioner): "You scientists think you're so great, but can you draw a beautiful rose? Sing a sublime melody? Tell a joke that makes the world smile? Dance the dance of love?"
Panel 2:
A woman with dark hair and glasses: "Can you do any of that stuff?"
A man with reddish hair (replying defensively): "Literary theory is a type of performance art!"
Votey:
A close-up of the reddish-haired man's face, shouting, with a speech bubble: "I HAVE A B.A...! I OWN BEAUTY!"

A three-panel comic mocking arts-vs-sciences posturing. Panel 1: a smug light-haired man challenges, "You scientists think you're so great, but can you draw a beautiful rose? Sing a sublime melody? Tell a joke that makes the world smile? Dance the dance of love?" Panel 2: a bespectacled dark-haired woman flatly turns the question back on him, "Can you do any of that stuff?" The reddish-haired man beside her dodges the point, insisting, "Literary theory is a type of performance art!" In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of his shouting face declares, "I HAVE A B.A...! I OWN BEAUTY!" The joke skewers the critic who demands creative achievement of scientists while having produced none himself.
