Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1: A man with short hair and a light blue shirt has a thoughtful expression. He’s sitting at a table, contemplating. There is a thought bubble above him saying: “Hmm… I don’t have anything to make dinner with, but I do have four boxes of Twinkies… BRAIN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLE!”

Panel 2: The man appears more animated, holding a raised fist and looking determined. He says: “Okay, Logic votes nay, Discretion votes aye, Inner Child votes aye, Foresight votes aye…” He looks surprised and adds, “…What? Foresight votes aye? Huh? Where’s the rest of Parliament? Where’s Common Sense? Where’s Pride?”

Panel 3: He looks frustrated as he counts the votes: “3-2, buddy. Parliament has spoken.”

Panel 4: The man, looking annoyed, responds: “I guess they aren’t showing up.” Another figure, obscured, says: “Give them back, you bastard!”

Panel 5: The foreground man, appearing defiant, states: “You will do what I say or I will dissolve this Parliament.” The other figure retorts: “But I’m the Ego. I have veto power.”

Panel 6: The first man raises an eyebrow and replies: “You don’t have the nerve.”

Panel 7: Later… A woman enters the scene, hands on her hips, questioning: “Honey, why are you crying while force-feeding yourself Twinkies?”

Panel 8: The man responds, face buried in his hands, with a speech bubble that simply states: “Politics.”

The comic captures a humorous take on personal struggles with decision-making and the absurdity of political discourse, conveyed through lively expressions and dialogue.
