Description

Here’s the detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1:

• A character is sitting on a bed, looking contemplative.
• Text (in a speech bubble): "God, why do we seek status beyond what's desirable? Why do we care for strangers to believe we are clever, or wise, or rich?"

Panel 2:

• A second character is in response mode, looking at the first character.
• Text (in a speech bubble): "It’s totally rational."
• The character looks skeptical (labeled in the panel): "Nah."

Panel 3:

• The first character continues to explain, transitioning to a more serious tone.
• Text (in a speech bubble): "Because after you die, every time someone says your name you get a free drink ticket in the afterlife."

Panel 4:

• The second character now appears amused, gesturing widely.
• Text (in a speech bubble): "Shakespeare’s running a goddamned liquor firehose up here."

Panel 5:

• The first character, looking thoughtful again.
• Text (as a narration): "Hemingway must be loving it."

Panel 6:

• The second character wraps up the thought with a final remark.
• Text (in a speech bubble): "He’s in hell but very popular."
