Main comic:
A professor with glasses (dark sunglasses) stands at the front of a classroom, addressing the students. Caption text fills the top of the panel:
Professor: "Just to be clear: nobody wants to be in this class. You're all here to complete your degree requirements. I'm teaching it because it's a job requirement. With that in mind, consider this: How is it that, in a system created by humans for humans, students who don't want to learn something are paying to take classes from someone who doesn't want to teach them?"
Professor (below the panel): "I discovered a way to get my students interested in microeconomics."
Votey:
A student with glasses, looking troubled/uneasy, speaks in a thought-bubble or speech caption above:
"The answer is what scientists call "Bullshit""

Main comic: A single panel shows a professor wearing dark sunglasses standing at the front of a classroom. A long caption presents the professor's monologue to the class: "Just to be clear: nobody wants to be in this class. You're all here to complete your degree requirements. I'm teaching it because it's a job requirement. With that in mind, consider this: How is it that, in a system created by humans for humans, students who don't want to learn something are paying to take classes from someone who doesn't want to teach them?" Below the panel, the professor adds: "I discovered a way to get my students interested in microeconomics." The joke: the professor sparks interest in economics by pointing out the absurd, self-defeating economic arrangement of the class itself. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of a worried-looking student wearing glasses, with handwritten text above reading: "The answer is what scientists call 'Bullshit.'" The punchline is the student's blunt verdict on the supposedly clever economic insight.
