A three-panel comic. Panel 1: A distressed dark-haired student sits among other students at exam desks, panicking: "Oh my god. I'm having that nightmare where it's final exams, but I haven't read any of the books or attended any of the lectures." Panel 2: The student looks toward a green chalkboard that reads "Literary Theory of the Philosophy of Sociology Final Exam" and says "Wait a sec. What's this?" Panel 3: Cut to a blond person sleeping peacefully in bed, with the caption "He must be having a wonderful dream." The joke: what would be a nightmare for most people is a dream come true for someone who loves obscure academic theory. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of a handwritten exam answer reading "To even begin to answer the question, we must consider a deeper one. What is Philosophy? Socrates said that..." trailing off the page, showing the dreamer happily over-answering the exam.
