Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Title/Setting: The comic depicts a scenario involving pharmaceutical companies and marketing practices.

Panel Descriptions:

  1. First Panel:
    • Text: "WE WERE TIRED OF PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES SPENDING MORE ON MARKETING THAN R&D."
    • Visuals: A man in sunglasses, wearing a dark coat, stands by a car and looks toward a store labeled "FOOD-MART." Another man stands nearby, observing.
  2. Second Panel:
    • Text: "So, we brought the power of the law against them."
    • Visuals: The same man is shown walking down an aisle inside a store, looking determined.
  3. Third Panel:
    • Text: "NOT ONLY WOULD THEY HAVE TO CEASE MARKETING. THEY WOULD HAVE TO LABEL THEIR PRODUCTS HONESTLY."
    • Visuals: The man continues walking through the store.
  4. Fourth Panel:
    • Text: "WE THOUGHT WE WERE RIGHTEOUS. WE THOUGHT WE WERE WISE. WE THOUGHT THE LAW WAS JUST."
    • Visuals: Another character, balding and wearing glasses, appears contemplative while holding a phone.
  5. Fifth Panel:
    • Text: "BUT WE NEVER THOUGHT THE DRUG COMPANIES WOULD FIND REVENGE WITHIN THE LAW ITSELF."
    • Visuals: The scene shifts to a store counter with a cashier and a customer.
  6. Sixth Panel:
    • Text: "PRICE CHECK ON A BOTTLE OF 'SO, YOU CAN'T SHIT RIGHT?' EXTRA LARGE."
    • Visuals: The cashier, a man in a green shirt, holds a device looking perplexed, while the customer, looking serious, stands with a bottle in hand.

Overall Theme: The comic humorously addresses the issue of pharmaceutical marketing and the unexpected consequences of legal actions. The dialogue balances between serious concerns and satirical observations about the industry.
