Panel 1:
A man with dark hair (speech bubble, upper left): I think I'm gonna switch from engineering to getting an MBA.
A woman with dark hair holding a small card (speech bubble, upper right): Ugh. Welp, I guess I'll just rip this up. Really thought this'd be worth something.
The man (speech bubble, center): Ugh, dammit. I hate that you made those.
The two characters stand side by side. The man wears a brown shirt and looks annoyed. The woman wears a purple top, holds a small card, and looks downcast.
Caption (below comic): Fun-time Activity:
Create "Rookie Cards" for all your friends.
Votey:
A trading-card-style portrait of a young man with reddish hair and a toothy grin against a blue background. A gold banner at the bottom reads:
ZACH WEINER
1997

A two-panel-feeling single comic with a teal background. A dark-haired man in a brown shirt says, "I think I'm gonna switch from engineering to getting an MBA." A dark-haired woman in a purple top, holding a small card, looks crestfallen and says, "Ugh. Welp, I guess I'll just rip this up. Really thought this'd be worth something." The man replies, "Ugh, dammit. I hate that you made those." A caption below reads, "Fun-time Activity: Create 'Rookie Cards' for all your friends" — implying she had made a collectible trading card of him as a budding engineer, now devalued by his career switch, like a fallen-prospect sports card. The votey shows the gag's payoff: a trading card with a toothy, freckled young red-haired man on a blue background and a gold banner reading "ZACH WEINER 1997" — an early "rookie card" of the comic's author.
