Comic Description:

The scene is set on a stage with a red curtain in the background. A man is speaking into a microphone, wearing a black suit and a wide-brimmed hat. He gestures with his hands as he addresses the audience.

Text from the Comic:

• Speaker: "ALL RIGHT, DO I HAVE $100,000? YES, IN THE BACK. $100,000. DO WE HAVE $200,000? ALL RIGHT, GOING FOR $200,000! DO WE HAVE $500,000? IMPECCABLE CREDENTIALS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. 500,000. YES! THE WOMAN IN FRONT. DO I SEE 550?"

At the bottom of the comic, there is a caption that reads: "The Nobel Prize in economics should be awarded via an auction system."
