Here’s a detailed description of the comic along with the transcribed text:

Comic Description:

The comic is divided into four panels and features a character with curly red hair and an expressive demeanor. The panels consist of two characters—a person sitting down and the main character standing—against a backdrop that seems to emphasize their emotions through bold lines and colors.

1. First Panel: The character is sitting down, frowning with a distressed expression while looking at a television. The text above reads:
   • "GOD THE NEWS IS DEPRESSING."
2. Second Panel: The character stands up, raising their voice with urgency. They declare:
   • "I CAN'T JUST KEEP QUIET."
3. Third Panel: The character's expression intensifies as they passionately exclaim:
   • "I'VE GOT TO STAND UP AND DO SOMETHING!"
4. Fourth Panel: The character adopts a determined stance, asserting:
   • "I VOW THAT I WILL NOT REST UNTIL THE WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE!"

Bottom Section:

Beneath the four panels, there’s an illustration of a newspaper with the headline:

• "MAN DIES OF SLEEP DEPRIVATION"
  • Below the headline, a subheading states:
  • "Scientists say burden of global warming slightly reduced."

The humor stems from the contrast between the character's passionate declaration and the darkly comedic outcome depicted in the newspaper.
