Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1: A classroom setting is depicted, with a woman at the front (a speaker) pointing at a drawing of William Shakespeare on a board. She has glasses and a serious expression. The audience, consisting of three people, is looking at her, showing curiosity.

Text: "We have no direct quotes from William Shakespeare. However, we do have circumstantial data."

Panel 2: The speaker continues, sharing information about Shakespeare. The scene shows her gesturing towards an image of sheep grazing outside, symbolizing the countryside.

Text: "Shakespeare grew up in a town of about 2,000 people, in the countryside. We also know the British countryside has always been filled with sheep."

Panel 3: The speaker presents survey data. A drawn sheep stands next to two children, who are looking at it.

Text: "Recent survey data we conducted shows that every person under the age of 12 who sees a sheep spontaneously, automatically, regardless of accent or dialect, must make a sheep sound."

Panel 4: The speaker, with a confident demeanor, gestures to emphasize a point. She has a wide smile and an enthusiastic posture.

Text: "Thus… behold the power of science!"

Panel 5: The focus shifts to a quote attributed to Shakespeare beneath the image of him, looking proud.

Text: ""BAA-A-A-A-A-A-A" - William Shakespeare circa 1574"

Sound effect: Below the quote, there’s a playful representation of applause in a series of "clap" sounds repeated multiple times.
