Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1: Two characters are standing and talking. One has messy dark hair and glasses with a serious expression, while the other has curly orange hair and an inquisitive look. The orange-haired character asks, “What are you talking about? Have you ever met a living child?”

Panel 2: The character with glasses responds critically about how kids view math and their interest in video games like Minecraft or Pokémon, questioning if children ever dismiss subjects as "boring" because they aren't relevant to real life.

Panel 3: The character with glasses continues, expressing frustration about the notion that kids skip math due to its irrelevance. The dialogue suggests that not just kids, but even adults avoid learning math due to its difficulty and laziness.

Panel 4: The character expresses that while a few people enjoy and succeed in math, they are exceptions similar to an 8-foot tall student making it into the NBA.

Panel 5: The character with glasses uses a metaphor about apes, suggesting that to captivate a group of 14-year-olds in math, a provocative distraction would magically make them prodigies in the subject.

Panel 6: The orange-haired character begins a statement about teaching students job skills but is interrupted by the glasses-wearing character's sarcastic remark about how the students will be "enthralled" by the speech.

Throughout the comic, the characters display expressive body language and exaggeration in their discussions about education, particularly the teaching of math. The overall tone is humorous and critical of traditional educational methods.
