Panel 1 (single panel):
A group of people stand together in a dimly lit room. A man with pink, flame-like hair speaks, gesturing toward a woman with curly orange hair and round glasses wearing a pink shirt, who looks indignant. Two other men (one with glasses, one older man with glasses and a beard) and a person seen from behind also stand nearby.
Man with pink hair: "WELL IF YOU CAN'T TELL A COMPLIMENT FROM AN INSULT, MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE WORKING IN PHILOSOPHY!"
Caption below the panel:
Lesson learned:
Nobody likes to be called an absolute Kant.
Votey:
A man with a furrowed, irritated expression speaks.
Man: "HER THOUGHTS ON THE LIMITS OF REASON ARE LUCID AND INSIGHTFUL! SHE'S A MASSIVE FUCKING KANT!"

A group of philosophers stand together in a dim room. A young man with bright pink, flame-like hair gestures emphatically toward an indignant woman with curly orange hair, round glasses, and a pink shirt; three other onlookers stand around them. He says: "Well if you can't tell a compliment from an insult, maybe you shouldn't even be working in philosophy!" A caption reads: "Lesson learned: Nobody likes to be called an absolute Kant" — a pun on the philosopher Immanuel Kant sounding like a crude insult. In the votey (aftercomic), a man with a furrowed, annoyed face explains earnestly: "Her thoughts on the limits of reason are lucid and insightful! She's a massive fucking Kant!" — revealing he genuinely meant it as high praise.
