A two-panel comic. Panel 1: a flustered balding professor in a suit throws up his hands and shouts, "HOW SHOULD I KNOW?!" Panel 2, captioned "MOMENTS EARLIER": in a classroom, a woman student with glasses raises her hand and asks, "PROFESSOR, WHAT IS EPISTEMOLOGY?" The professor sits with his back to the class. The joke: a philosophy professor has no idea what epistemology (the study of knowledge) is. Votey (handwritten aftercomic): "(LATER THE STUDENT ASKS WHAT METAPHYSICS IS AND THE PROF JUST SHOUTS "WHYYY?!")" — he can't handle that question either.
