Description

Here's a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1: A character with medium-length hair and glasses speaks to a group. They have a frustrated expression. A speech bubble contains the text: "MODERN OFFICE JOBS ARE WEIRD. EMPLOYEES ARE PRESENT FOR EIGHT HOURS A DAY, BUT ONLY ACTUALLY WORK FOR TWO HOURS A DAY. THE REMAINDER IS SPENT BROWSING THE INTERNET AND PLAYING PHONE GAMES."

Panel 2: The same character continues talking, now with a slightly more serious tone. The text reads: "AS EMPLOYERS, WE ARE EMOTIONALLY UNABLE TO COUNTENANCE THE IDEA OF A FULL WAGE FOR A TEN HOUR WORK WEEK. IT JUST SEEMS TOO EASY."

Panel 3: A different character, a woman with short hair, interjects. She appears to be slightly uncomfortable while speaking. Her speech bubble says: "ON THE OTHER HAND, HAVING YOU BE HERE ALL DAY COSTS US IN RENT AND ELECTRICITY."

Panel 4: The first character gestures as they propose a new idea. Their speech bubble reads: "SO, WE'RE PROPOSING AN EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVE."

Panel 5: The scene shifts slightly, showing the first character again as they describe the new proposal in a humorous tone: "IF YOUR DAY'S WORK IS COMPLETE AT THE END OF TWO HOURS, YOU MAY GO HOME. BUT, ONLY BY WALKING NAKED THROUGH THIS BRIAR PATCH, THEN UNDER A WATERFALL OF SALTY LEMON JUICE, THEN THROUGH A LONG HALL WHERE TWENTY MEN DRESSED LIKE YOUR MOTHER INSULT YOUR LIFE CHOICES WHILE BEATING YOU WITH TROPHIES WON BY MORE SUCCESSFUL CLASSMATES FROM YOUR HIGH SCHOOL."

Panel 6: The first character concludes with a satisfied expression: "THAT WAY, WE GET MORE LEISURE TIME, AND WE FEEL WE GOT OUR MONEY'S WORTH."

Panel 7: Another character, a woman with short hair, raises a hand to ask a question: "HOW MANY HOURS A DAY DO THE MOM-GUYS WORK?"

Panel 8: The answer is given by yet another character, who confidently states: "Twelve. With no overtime."

Panel 9: The first character expresses satisfaction: "I LOVE GETTING TO WORK WITH MY HANDS EVERY DAY."

Panel 10: A character in the background holds a trophy labeled "Spelling Bee," looking proud. The expressions of the group around them imply a mix of confusion and amusement.
