Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1:

• Title: "It's Helpful Lad!"
• A character, Helpful Lad, is on the phone. He has short, light-colored hair and wears a fitted orange shirt with a collar. He seems enthusiastic and caring.
• Text: "That sounds like quite a problem! I'll be there post-haste!"

Panel 2:

• The scene shifts to a tree where a cat is stuck, depicted in a comic style, with a person below it looking distressed.
• The person below is an elderly man with gray hair, clearly upset.
• Text (from the man): "Helpful Lad! My cat got stuck in a tree! I've been yelling at her all afternoon, but she won't—"

Panel 3:

• The distressed man continues to shout angrily, his face contorted in frustration.
• Text: "STOP YELLING ABOUT THE GODDAMN CAT OR I WILL RIP OUT YOUR SPLEEN THROUGH YOUR EYES!"

Panel 4:

• Helpful Lad, looking unfazed, reacts to the earlier chaos with a sense of calm.
• Text: "Thanks Helpful Lad!"

The comic captures a humorous, exaggerated interaction between Helpful Lad and the distressed man regarding a cat stuck in a tree. The tone is comedic and chaotic, reflecting a playful take on superhero tropes.
