A two-part SMBC comic. The main panel has a caption at the top reading: "PROPOSAL: ANY JOB THAT GOES UNAPPRECIATED SHOULD BE EXPRESSED IN UNITS OF WEIGHT." Below it, a gray-haired woman in a pink sweater sits in a red armchair talking on a telephone, saying: "Hi, we need some adjunct professors to teach intro courses. Yeah, so we need about five hundred pounds' worth." The votey (bonus panel) is a black-and-white close-up of the same woman's face on the phone, adding: "Yeah, one big one or four little ones," treating underappreciated adjunct professors as a commodity ordered by weight.
