The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

Bottom-left, a Black trans man gets his chest painted with body paints by his white trans woman partner. Bottom-right, a Black character is seen from the back with fluffy green hair, sitting in a beach chair while they watch two people in the lake nearby fishing together.

A hand holding the handset of a rotary telephone, where the speaker of the phone is, a smiling and shouting mouth with red lipstick appears. There is a gold star piece of glitter on one of the teeth, and on one of the fingernails of the hand. Confetti is suspended in the air in the background.
