Panel 1:
Woman (speaking, hands clasped near her face): "IN THE RENAISSANCE, IT TOOK TWO TO FOUR YEARS OF ARTISANAL WORK USING RARE EXPENSIVE DYES TO CONSTRUCT A SINGLE PAINTING, AND THEN SHIPMENT TOOK MONTHS, IF YOU WERE LUCKY ENOUGH THAT IT WASN'T LOST AT SEA!"
Caption (below panel):
If you measure inflation in the cost of sending nudes, we are all trillionaires.
Votey:
A loosely sketched underwater scene. A framed painting sits half-buried and tilted on the seafloor amid rocks, with fish swimming above it and bubbles rising toward the water's surface.

A single-panel comic. A woman with grey hair and round glasses clasps her hands near her face, looking earnest as she says: "In the Renaissance, it took two to four years of artisanal work using rare expensive dyes to construct a single painting, and then shipment took months, if you were lucky enough that it wasn't lost at sea!" A caption beneath the panel delivers the punchline: "If you measure inflation in the cost of sending nudes, we are all trillionaires." The votey (bonus panel) is a simple ink sketch of an underwater scene: a framed painting lies tilted and half-buried on the seafloor among rocks, with fish swimming and bubbles drifting upward, illustrating a painting lost at sea.
