Dogs, Genes, and Economic Factors

Text on the meme

DAD, WHY DO DOGS LOOK SO DIFFERENT? BECAUSE OF THEIR BREED, SON. WHY ARE SOME SO BIG AND SOME SO SMALL? THEIR GENES, OF COURSE. AND WHY ARE SOME CLEVER AND OTHERS NOT? UM. PURELY ECONOMIC FACTORS.

What it means

A six-panel comic shows a father and son discussing why dogs differ in appearance, size, and intelligence. The punchline sarcastically attributes intelligence to purely economic factors, implying that wealth determines how clever someone is. It is used as an absurd reaction to jokes about class, intelligence, or socioeconomic status.
