Description

Comic Description:

The comic features two characters engaged in a dialogue in an office setting.

• Top Panel: The background is a muted color. The text at the top reads: "ENGINEERING TIPS: SINCE PROJECT DELIVERY TIMES ARE ALWAYS UNDERESTIMATED, YOU MIGHT AS WELL LIE FROM THE BEGINNING."

• Left Character: A man with short brown hair, looking concerned. He has a green shirt on and is speaking to the other character.
  • Speech bubble: "HEY, MARKETING WANTS TO KNOW WHEN THE INTERFACE WILL BE FINISHED."
• Right Character: A man with glasses, appearing calm and sitting in front of a computer. He is in a blue shirt.
  • Speech bubble: "30 SECONDS."
• Left Character (continued):
  • Speech bubble: "WHAT? BUT—"
• Right Character (continued):
  • Speech bubble: "25 NOW! QUICK! TELL EVERYONE!"

The comic humorously highlights the disconnect between engineering and marketing time estimates.
