Description

Here's a detailed description of the comic along with the transcribed text:

Panel 1:

• A character with red hair and a green shirt is listening to an older man with glasses and a mustache. The older man is speaking with a serious expression.
• Text: "Bobby no! Drugs may seem fun now, but your life will just get worse and worse!"

Panel 2:

• The young character responds, looking thoughtful.
• Text: "If my life will get worse and worse, then the discount rate calculation suggests I should try to maximize present value. Logically, what you're saying is that I should do as many drugs in the present as possible."

Panel 3:

• The older man looks frustrated, raising his hands in an exasperated gesture.
• Text: "Dammit boy! I warned you against getting sucked into the world of economic theory!"

Panel 4:

• The younger character appears more relaxed, with a slight smile, as the older man gestures toward him.
• Text: "I can quit any time that it is preference-maximizing to do so!"
