Synopsis
The comic stars Ted as a young boy who kept failing his tests. During a parent teacher meeting, Ted was asked to make friends with a group of smart kids. Pressured by them, Ted made great improvements in order to seek acceptance by the group. His improvements were praised as he became arrogantly smart, and actively seeks to reinforce that belief. Years later, Ted seeks for a job after graduating. He applies for a very hard technical job at a nuclear plant, and arrogantly decides to not study, believing that he will not fail. While waiting for his turn, another applicant stumbles out and says that the test is insanely hard. Ted rudely claims that he was just being lazy, and that he would do much better. Minutes later, he walks out screaming in anger, blaming that the test was impossible to pass.
