Description

Here’s a transcription of the text from the comic:

Panel 1
Person 1: "HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT THE LESSONS IN 'DEATH OF A SALESMAN' DON’T WORK ANYMORE?"
Person 2: "OH…?"

Panel 2
"It GOT REPLACED BY CONSPIRACY-ADJACENT NEWS OPINIONS, SHARING CONFUSED-YET-ANGRY POLITICAL MEMES, AND PARASOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH ONLINE AND TV PERSONALITIES WHO CLAIM TO KNOW THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT THE STATE OF THINGS."

Panel 3
"ENNUI GOT FIXED IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE. LIFE DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH MEANING, SO PEOPLE OVERCORRECTED THE PROBLEM BY MAKING EVERY STUB OF THE TOE EMBLEMATIC OF THE TRAGIC STATE OF THE WORLD AND THE DARK FORCES IN CHARGE OF IT."

Panel 4
"EVERYONE THOUGHT ENGAGEMENT WAS A GOOD THING, BUT LOOK AT US NOW."

Panel 5
"LESS ATTENTION MUST BE PAID! LESS ATTENTION MUST BE PAID!"
