Comic #4156: motivation-3
Description
Here’s a detailed description of the comic along with the text:
Panel 1:
- A stick figure person stands facing away from the viewer, with a neutral expression. The caption reads: “A person was in a not-good situation.”
Panel 2:
- The same stick figure is shown with a concerned look, as an explosion of light or energy appears in front of them. The caption states: “The not-good situation was not good.”
Panel 3:
- Now, the stick figure shows a thoughtful expression, standing with hands on hips. The caption reads: “The person realized it would be better to not be in a not-good situation.”
Panel 4:
- The stick figure is now depicted taking various actions to improve their life, illustrated with three smaller figures: one lifting weights, one reading a book, and one working at a job. The caption states: “The person did things to improve their finances, education, job prospects, and physical appearance.”
Panel 5:
- The first stick figure is now standing with a confident posture, looking at a bright landscape. The caption reads: “Later, the person achieved either self-acceptance or high social status.”
Panel 6:
- The view returns to the first stick figure, standing in a relaxed posture. The caption states: “You could be like that person.”
Bottom Section:
- Two characters are standing behind a desk: one with glasses and shoulder-length hair, comforting the other with a beard and a pensive expression, who is seated at the desk. The first character says: “I don’t think you’re cut out for writing motivational comics.” The seated character responds with: “This is a not-good situation.”
This comic employs humor to illustrate personal growth and the sometimes unflattering critique of motivational content.
