1. Four-panel comic showing a teacher in front of class, using a pointer and a wall map. Panel 1: The teacher says, "Welcome to Geology 201. Today we'll be review-bombing an Applebees." Panel 2: The teacher points at a map on the wall and says, "Tomorrow we'll do Costco and Sephora." A student asks, "Why?" The teacher replies, "If we cut traffic to the Northgate shopping center, it will go to the East Plaza instead." Panel 3: Zoomed in on the teacher and the map. The map is showing layered rock formations, roads, and proposed routes. Teacher says, "This will push the state to cancel the North Bridge project and shift funds to the Highway 3 extension..." Panel 4: The teacher continues, "...creating new roadcuts through Triassic shale." One student interjects, "I like Applebees." The teacher replies, "Then you should have told the city to approve my dig permit." Hidden text: "The rise of AI review bombing tools threatens to take away a crucial source of experience for geology undergraduates."
