This black-and-white editorial cartoon by Randy Glasbergen depicts a wide-eyed student addressing a teacher beside a chalkboard displaying the straightforward sum 12 + 3 = 15. The student’s ironic remark about wanting to learn “fuzzy math” critiques the misuse of numbers in politics and media, implying that real-world decision-making often relies on distorted or oversimplified data rather than clear logic. The visual contrast between basic arithmetic and the student’s aspirational career choice underscores the satire.
