Description

Comic Description:

The comic is split into two panels with a title at the top of each panel.

Top Panel: "PREDICTION"

• A character with a large mustache and Victorian-era attire stands confidently, making a statement. The dialogue is as follows:
  • "IN THE FUTURE, WE WILL USE THE WEALTH DERIVED FROM AUTOMATION TO WORK FEWER AND FEWER HOURS."

Bottom Panel: "REALITY"

• In this panel, there are two individuals: one woman and one man. The woman appears to be listening with a questioning expression, while the man, wearing a yellow shirt with an emblem, gestures while speaking. His dialogue reads:
  • "THIS COMPUTER USES ONLY ARTISANAL BITS!"
• In the background, a group of people holds scorecards, looking confused or amused.

The overall tone of the comic contrasts an idealistic future prediction with a humorous, more chaotic reality.
