A three-panel comic set in a crowded room full of children. In the first panel, an adult art instructor announces, 'Hi kids! Welcome to art class! The first thing I want you to say is "I am an artist!"' One eager child immediately stands up and shouts, 'I am an artist!' In the second panel the instructor corrects them: 'Not you! Me! Tell ME "I am an artist!"' but the child again declares, 'I am an artist!' In the third panel the instructor relents, saying flatly, 'You are,' and the delighted child throws their arms up crying, 'Thank you so much everyone!' The joke is the child mishearing the instructor's self-affirmation prompt as a personal validation and accepting it as praise. Votey (bonus panel): a close-up of the same beaming child confidently saying, 'We begin with a PowerPoint presentation on all of my macaroni art,' having fully embraced their new artist identity.
