Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

1. Panel 1: The scene shows a nervous person with curly hair, sitting in an audience. They are speaking to another person, who is also in the audience. The dialogue reads:
   • Character 1: "I always get scared when I go on stage to read from my book. I always feel like nobody actually wants to be there. Nobody wants to see me."
2. Panel 2: The second character, a person with straight hair, responds with a grin. The dialogue says:
   • Character 2: "You wanna know a trick? Just pretend everybody in the audience is naked."
3. Panel 3: The first character looks excited and replies:
   • Character 1: "Ha! Brilliant! That works!"
4. Panel 4: Under a title that says “SHORTLY…”, the scene shifts to a stage with a curtain drawn back. The first character is in the center of the stage, looking disappointed. The dialogue states:
   • Character 1: "It didn't work."
5. The background suggests a sparse audience, with many empty seats visible.

The overall theme of the comic revolves around public speaking anxiety and a humorous yet unhelpful tip to ease that fear.
