A four-panel comic. A woman with dark hair asks a bald, bearded man wearing round glasses, "Do you feel economics has enlightened you?" The man, eyes opening wide, answers "Absolutely!" He continues, "I used to think I needed to be rich to be happy." As the woman starts to say "Aww, that's-", the man grins and finishes, "Turns out I just need EVERYONE ELSE to be poor!" In the votey aftercomic, a loosely drawn close-up of the man's wide-eyed, smiling face appears beneath the caption: "And that's why it's important not to focus on yourself."
