Comic Description:

• Panel 1: A man with reddish-brown hair is sitting at a computer, looking pleased. He thinks, "These Google auto-generated email responses save me so much time. It's like they can read my mind!"

• Panel 2: A close-up of the man's computer screen shows the following text (with a button for responses below):
  • "Nice!"
  • "Got it. Thanks!"
  • Below there's a longer message: "By God Susan, I love you. We're both in unhappy marriages. Our jobs are living death. Let's run away. Together. Anywhere. We'll never look back."

• Panel 3: The comic shows the man sweating, with a worried expression as he realizes what happened. His computer screen shows the same response buttons as before.

• Panel 4: The man accidentally clicks on the "Nice!" button, illustrated with a clicking sound effect as he does so.

This comic humorously illustrates the potential pitfalls of relying on auto-generated responses in emails.
