Description

Comic Description:

The comic features a character, an older man with glasses and a beard, standing at a podium. He is animatedly delivering a speech. The background is a solid red color, providing contrast to the figure and the podium.

Text on the Comic:

1. Speech Bubble (from the character): "WE ARE NOT HERE FOR WISDOM, ALTHOUGH WE MUST ACQUIRE IT. WE ARE NOT HERE FOR EXPERIMENT, ALTHOUGH WE MUST PERFORM IT. WE ARE NOT HERE FOR LOVE, ALTHOUGH WE POSSESS IT. WE ARE HERE FOR ONE BEAUTIFUL REASON ALONE: EVERY ADVANCE IN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF EVOLUTION, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, MAKES CREATIONISTS LOOK JUST A LITTLE MORE STUPID."

2. Caption (below the image): "It was the most motivational speech the biology department had ever heard."

Visual Elements:

• The character wears a black jacket and a yellow shirt, and gestures with one hand while speaking.
• The podium is simple and extends from the bottom of the image, making the character the focal point.

Overall, the comic combines a humorous take on evolution and creationism with an energetic delivery from the speaker.
