Deep Moral !!

This is a wholesome, slightly satirical comic strip (often shared as a wholesome meme) that tells a simple but poignant story about the nature of art, value, and appreciation. Here’s the sequence and what it means:

A little girl draws a very simple, child-like picture: a grey cat seen from behind, surrounded by colorful wavy abstract patterns.
Two museum workers in uniforms hang the drawing on a gallery wall as if it were a serious artwork.
The girl (now a bit older) visits the museum, walks past it, stops, and quietly looks at her own drawing with a small smile.
A pretentious-looking guy next to her is completely baffled and frustrated by the “meaningless” abstract art.
The girl keeps coming back over the years, just sitting and looking at it calmly, while others (including the same guy) remain confused or fall in love with the wrong person (the girl, not the art).
Eventually a rich guy buys the painting for 19 million dollars, still thinking it’s profound modern art titled “Cat’s Vision.”
Time passes: 20 years later, then some more years later. The painting is now famous, displayed under bright lights, and crowds of people admire it.
The girl, now an old woman with grey hair, still comes to the museum and sits in front of it, smiling quietly.
Final panel text: “Appreciation is a true value.”

The message
The comic is making a gentle joke about the modern/contemporary art world, where very simple or child-like works can sometimes be sold for millions if they are presented as “deep” or “conceptual.”
But underneath the satire, it has a very sweet core point:

The little girl doesn’t care about money, fame, or what critics think.
She simply loves her own drawing and keeps appreciating it her whole life.
That pure, lifelong appreciation is portrayed as the real, lasting value — more genuine than the 19 million dollars or the crowds who only like it because it became fashionable.

It’s a quiet celebration of personal meaning and innocent creativity over external validation or monetary worth. That’s why people find it heartwarming even though it pokes fun at the absurdity of the high-end art market.
