Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1:

• A student with curly orange hair and glasses is sitting at a computer, typing. She has a focused expression.
• The text in the panel reads: "We students shouldn't be bound by a ludicrous, arbitrary, insulting grading system, in which we're reduced to a single letter with a plus or minus sign!"

Panel 2:

• A teacher, an African American man wearing glasses and a collared shirt, stands next to a blackboard. He has a friendly smile and is holding a paper marked with an "A+" grade.
• The blackboard shows an outline for an essay:
  • "Intro."
  • "Body pars." (Body paragraphs)
    • "1 → tr."
    • "2 →"
    • "3 →"
• Above the teacher, the text reads: "GREAT ESSAY, SUSIE."

Panel 3:

• The same student from the first panel is now smiling, looking at her graded paper with the "A+" on it. She is pleased.
• She asks, "So what did you get, Bobby?"

Panel 4:

• In the lower part of the panel, a boy with dark hair and a neutral expression is sitting at a desk. He also holds a paper that has a large red "F" marked on it.
• The cartoonish and humorous tone is conveyed through the expressions of the characters and the contrasting grades.
