Description
Comic Description:
The comic features a scene set in a meeting room with a group of people seated at a long table. On one side, there are several characters, including a man with light brown hair and a green shirt, a man with red hair and a gray suit, a woman with blonde hair styled in a bob, and a dark-haired man wearing glasses.
At the head of the table stands a man with short dark hair and a serious expression, gesturing with his hand as he speaks. His dialogue is emphasized in a speech bubble that reads:
"Wait… you want to fund math education with a program that only makes money because poor people aren't taught statistics."
At the bottom of the comic, there is a caption that states:
"Mathematicians are no longer allowed at the state lottery funds debate."
Visual Elements:
- The characters exhibit a range of expressions, predominantly curiosity or skepticism.
- The setting has a formal tone, indicated by the attire of the characters and the arrangement of the table.
This comic effectively critiques the intersection of education funding and socioeconomic disparities.
