Comic #4548: 200-percent
Description
Here's a detailed description of the comic:
Panel 1: A bald man wearing glasses and a tie is speaking to a group of three men in green sports jerseys labeled "1," "2," and "3." The bald man looks frustrated and says, “Team, I want you to go out and give me 200%!”
Panel 2: One of the men in the jerseys raises an eyebrow and responds, “Huh? That doesn’t make any sense. How can we do that?”
Panel 3: The bald man replies, “I don’t know, but according to our calculations, the other team is three times better than us, using a metric that considers strength, intelligence, stamina, and those intangible qualities that dwell in the heart of a champion.”
Panel 4: He continues, “They’re actually twelve times better on that last factor.”
Panel 5: A serious expression on his face, he adds, “Given that you are statistically inferior, I can either encourage you to 'give it 200%', or I can just say, 'If you win, it’s because sometimes the other guy rolls snake-eyes.'”
Panel 6: Another team member responds, looking resigned, “I guess I’ll try for 200% then.”
Panel 7: A last panel shows the bald man clarifying, “To be clear, that’ll only make the game a coin toss.”
Footer: At the bottom, there’s a note stating, “This bonus comic is thanks to preorders of 'SOONISH.' We are launching October 17th!” with a link to more information.
Each panel captures the dialogue and expressions of the characters, conveying the comedic tone of the conversation about effort and expectations in a competitive scenario.
