The cartoon shows exactly what it shows: a graduate in cap and gown looking down at a phone with a ChatGPT prompt asking for a speech written at a 12th-grade level that will make him sound real smart.

Rick McKee keeps the drawing simple and direct. The phone screen and the text bubble are the only elements carrying the joke, and they do the job without any extra clutter.

Newspapers can run this one as is. It lands because the prompt text is legible and the situation is current, which helps with both print and online pickup.
