Panel 1: A student knocks on a door.
Student: Enter.
Panel 2: The student stands before a hooded, dark-robed master figure.
Student: Master, would it be possible to use the 4th edition of your textbook, rather than the new 5th edition?
Panel 3:
Master: They appear to be identical in content, but I can get the 4th edition from another student.
Panel 4:
Student: Of course. I mean, you don't really believe in robbing money off the American public sector since changed in the last twelve months, do you?
Panel 5:
Master: Truly, you are a glorious master!
Master: But then, there is one matter for you to consider.
Panel 6:
Master: I have altered the given values in 20% of the homework problems.
Panel 7: The master throws back his hood, revealing a small green goblin-like face, laughing maniacally.
Master: HAHAHAHAHAHA
Panel 8:

Master: But that's unethical!
Votey: A close-up of the hooded green goblin master, mouth open mid-laugh.

An eight-panel SMBC comic. A student knocks on a door and a voice says "Enter." Inside, the student faces a sinister figure in a dark hooded robe. The student asks if he can use the 4th edition of the master's textbook instead of the new 5th edition. The master says the editions appear identical in content but that he can get the 4th edition from another student. The student remarks that the master surely doesn't really believe in profiting off students. The master praises the student, "Truly, you are a glorious master!", then warns there is one matter to consider: "I have altered the given values in 20% of the homework problems." The master throws back his hood to reveal a tiny green goblin face, cackling "HAHAHAHAHAHA." The student calmly replies, "Oh, wait. I'll just go download it illegally," and the goblin gasps, "But that's unethical!" Votey: a close-up of the green hooded goblin, mouth wide, saying "I'll knock down the price two dollars!"
