A stern, balding older man in a suit raises one finger and declares in a speech bubble: "All students who did A+ work will be given a B for not understanding the concept of opportunity cost." A caption beneath the panel reads: "The fact that this never happens is proof that economists don't believe their own theories." Votey: a black-and-white close-up of a person making a skeptical, side-eyeing face, saying: "Speaking of opportunity cost, I'm leaving."
