Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1:

• Two characters are talking.
• The first character is on the left, with spiky blue hair and a light blue shirt.
• They ask, “ANY PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR?”
• The second character is on the right, with brown hair and a light brown shirt.
• They respond, “WHY PLAN IF YOU KNOW IT’S GONNA BE GARBAGE?”

Panel 2:

• The first character from Panel 1 is shown again, with a concerned expression.
• They ask, “WHAT’RE YOU DOING?”
• The second character replies, “I’M BEING DEFENSIVELY PESSIMISTIC.”

Panel 3:

• The second character explains, “I ASSUME THE WORST AND VERBALLY EXPRESS THAT ASSUMPTION. THIS SIMULTANEOUSLY MAKES ME HAPPY WHEN THINGS TURN OUT TO BE AVERAGE AND KEEPS ME FROM LOOKING NAIVE BY EXPRESSING MEMORABLY INCORRECT POSITIVE SENTIMENTS!”

Panel 4:

• The first character shows a slightly frowning expression and says, “YEAH BUT THE COST IS IMMISERATING EVERYONE AROUND YOU.”
• The second character responds, “THAT WAY THEY CAN BE HAPPY TOO!”

The comic has a lighthearted tone and displays a conversation about pessimism and its effects on those around them.
