Description

The comic features two characters in a conversation about protecting academic discourse.

Text:

• At the top: "WE NEED A WAY TO PROTECT FREE AND CREATIVE ACADEMIC DISCOURSE."
• One character suggests: "WHAT IF WE TOOK THE OLDEST, WEALTHIEST, MOST POLITICALLY POWERFUL PEOPLE IN THE FIELD AND MADE THEM IMPOSSIBLE TO FIRE?"
• Below the characters: "Tenure is weird."

The comic visually depicts two figures, with one character appearing to be more animated and engaged, while the other listens thoughtfully.
