Title (top): KNOW YOUR MINERALS
The comic is a 2x2 grid of labeled mineral specimens, each in its own colored box with a title banner.
Panel 1 (top-left, purple background): GOLD
A yellow rounded nugget, with labels pointing to it:
- noble metal
- bright yellow
- highly conductive
Panel 2 (top-right, purple background): FOOL'S GOLD
Angular brassy crystals (pyrite), with labels:
- sharper edges
- duller color
- lower density
Panel 3 (bottom-left, green background): MORON'S GOLD
A flat gray slab of rock, with labels:
- gray color
- not very conductive
- is a piece of slate
- probably fell off your roof
Panel 4 (bottom-right, blue background): SHIT-FOR-BRAINS'S GOLD
A yellow lemon, with labels that grow increasingly exasperated:
- is actually a lemon
- lemons aren't rocks
- for God's sake it's just a lemon
- go outside once in a while

Title: Crap Gold
A gray-blue rounded blob (a rock/nugget shape), with handwritten labels:
- also known as silver
An arrow curves toward the label.

A mock geology reference chart titled "KNOW YOUR MINERALS," laid out as a 2x2 grid of labeled specimens, each progressively dumber. Top-left, "GOLD": a yellow nugget labeled noble metal, bright yellow, highly conductive. Top-right, "FOOL'S GOLD": angular brassy pyrite crystals labeled sharper edges, duller color, lower density. Bottom-left, "MORON'S GOLD": a flat gray slab labeled gray color, not very conductive, is a piece of slate, probably fell off your roof. Bottom-right, "SHIT-FOR-BRAINS'S GOLD": a plain yellow lemon, with labels getting increasingly fed up: is actually a lemon, lemons aren't rocks, for God's sake it's just a lemon, go outside once in a while. The votey continues the bit: a panel titled "Crap Gold" shows a dull gray-blue blob labeled "also known as silver" with an arrow pointing to it, mocking silver as inferior gold.
