Description
Comic Description:
The comic features two panels:
Panel 1:
- A man in a suit, who appears to be a scientist or advisor, is speaking to another man, presumably the President.
- The scientist is enthusiastic and says: "Good news, Mister President! We've created a new breed of Homo sapiens who are so dumb they will skew the arithmetic mean of the entire nation!"
- The President, who has a friendly demeanor, responds with a laughter in the form of "HA!" and says: "My educational goal is officially met!"
Panel 2:
- A rolled-up newspaper is shown prominently in the foreground with the headline: "75% OF CHILDREN NOW ABOVE AVERAGE IQ" printed on it.
- The newspaper also includes a graph with a wavy line indicating varying data but does not provide further details.
The overall tone of the comic appears to be satirical, commenting on educational standards and societal intelligence.
