Comic Description:

Panel 1:

• A woman with short curly hair, wearing a purple top, is speaking to another woman who has straight dark hair and is wearing a black top.
• The background is a reddish-brown wall with a circular blue object visible.
• Dialogue:
  • Woman with curly hair: "THIS IS MY NEW PIECE OF 'FOUND ART.'"
  • Woman with straight hair: "THAT DOESN'T COUNT! THAT'S MY FOUND ART. YOU FOUND IT IN MY STUDIO."
  • Curly-haired woman: "AFTER YOU STOLE IT FROM ME!"
  • Straight-haired woman: "STOLE ONCE!"

Panel 2:

• The scene shifts to a classroom setting with a professor at the front. The professor has blond hair and is gesturing while speaking to a group of attentive students.
• Dialogue:
  • One student (a woman with long dark hair): "PROFESSOR– WHY ISN'T THERE MORE FUNDING FOR THE ARTS?"
  • Professor: "BECAUSE OF THE PHILISTINES IN WASHINGTON!"

Overall Atmosphere: The first panel captures a playful argument about art ownership, while the second panel introduces a commentary on funding for the arts, contrasting the personal conflict with a broader societal issue.
