Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1: A man with orange hair, dressed in a white shirt and tie, speaks excitedly. He stands next to a table decorated for Halloween, with a sign that says "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" He is gesturing toward a bucket. To his left, another person holds a pumpkin. A small sign is seen, indicating "Trick or Treat!"

Panel 2: A close-up of the orange-haired man realizing he has received a pink slip, which indicates he’s being fired. He looks shocked and says, "This is a pink slip. You're firing me? Is that why nobody else is at this Halloween party?" A woman with dark, medium-length hair, dressed in an orange shirt, appears unimpressed next to him.

Panel 3: The woman responds, "In fairness, the sign did say 'Trick or Treat.'" The orange-haired man looks distressed and says, "I can barely afford my mortgage."

Panel 4: The woman exclaims, "Oooh! Scary!" The orange-haired man appears frustrated as he contemplates his situation.

The comic encapsulates a humorous take on workplace dynamics during Halloween, blending elements of surprise and realization while using the theme of a Halloween party.
