Comic #3940: morale-boost

View Original Comic

Description

Here’s the transcribed text from the comic:

Top panel: "Thanks to the magic of programmable matter and advanced acoustics, the very fabric of our office is a morale booster."

Middle left panel: "When you say something, instead of reflecting the noise randomly, the walls adjust shape to capture the sound, amplify it, change it to the phrase 'I know what you did,' and project it directly into the speaker's ears."

Middle right panel: "We think employees will find it to be reassuring. It's an acknowledgment that we know they're doing good work."

Bottom left panel: "If they shout, there is enough acoustic energy to repeat the phrase over and over and over."

Bottom middle panel: "Interestingly, sometimes the phrase itself seems to provoke shouting, which creates a virtuous cycle of morale boosting."

Bottom right panel: "Do any of them ever blink?"
"One of the effects of high morale is that you stop sleeping."
