The background is a muted green, and the professor is speaking about a philosophical view on death.

Text:

1. In the upper part of the comic: "They have a radical view of death. They recognize death as an aspect of existence like many others. They believe the days we don’t live are not to be lamented, but the days we have are to be celebrated as a gift from fortune."

2. In a speech bubble from the professor: "Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else." - Marcus Aurelius.

3. Below the illustration: "Professor Thompson explains why the only ethical food is Stoic philosophers."
