Description

Comic Title: "Herodotus Also Wrote a History of Temp Workers"

Panel 1:

• Character on the left (with beard and toga): "Dienekes! Mr. Xerxes promises to send so many memoranda that they shall blot out the sun!"
• A character in formal attire is listening attentively.

Panel 2:

• Character on the left (bearded): "Then we shall file in the shade!"
• This character is holding a clipboard, looking animated and serious.

There's a subtle humor related to an overwhelming amount of paperwork in this context. The visual style features simple, cartoonish illustrations with exaggerated facial expressions.
