This image is a three-panel comic strip depicting a humorous scenario involving a class discussion on computational speech.

Panel 1 shows four people sitting around a long conference table against a pink background. On the far left, a person with dark hair and a blue shirt sits with their back to the viewer. Next to them is a man with curly dark hair, glasses, and a brown jacket over a light blue shirt; he is leaning forward with his hands on the table and speaking. To his right sit two other people: a man in a green jacket and a woman with shoulder-length dark hair, glasses, and a grey blazer. A speech bubble originating from the man in the brown jacket reads, "How should we end a class on computational speech?"

Panel 2 focuses on three of the characters at the table offering suggestions. On the left is the man in the green jacket, pointing his finger upward enthusiastically. His speech bubble says, "The role of quantized symbols?" In the center is the woman with glasses, looking calm. Her speech bubble reads, "Grammar induction?" On the right is a young man with dark hair wearing a light blue t-shirt; he looks bored or tired, resting his head on his hand. His speech bubble suggests, "Suggesting that Language is statistically learned?"

Panel 3 is split into three sections to show the reaction and consequence. The top left section shows a close-up of the man in the brown jacket against a red background; he has an angry, shocked expression with wide eyes and gritted teeth. The bottom left section shows a close-up of the young man in the blue shirt against a pink background; he looks confused or oblivious, still resting his cheek on his hand. The right side of the panel depicts an exterior view of a white multi-story building with many windows. A window on an upper floor is open, and the young man in the blue shirt is being thrown out of it, flailing through the air with mountains visible in the distance under a blue sky.
