A two-panel comic contrasting how artists talk privately versus in interviews. Panel 1, captioned 'ARTISTS IN PRIVATE,' shows a red-haired man hunched over a laptop, thinking a grandiose thought bubble: 'I am going to make the greatest thing ever so history will never forget my name and the great mass of people will bow before my genius as all my friends and enemies seethe with envy and cry cry cry!' Panel 2, captioned 'ARTISTS IN INTERVIEWS,' shows the same man now wearing headphones, calm, hand on his chest, saying modestly: 'For me, art is all about self-expression.' The votey (bonus panel) is a close-up of the man in headphones continuing the interview line, undercutting the modesty: 'It's just that my self is an eeny weeny angry narcissist who is only good at one thing!'
