Comic #6165: free
Description
The comic consists of three panels.
Panel 1: A character with short, spiky hair and a surprised expression exclaims. The background features a sign in a window that reads: "TODAY: FREE SANDWICHES!"
Panel 2: There’s a caption that says, "EARLIER…" Above it, the same surprised character is speaking with another character who has a scruffy appearance. The scruffy character states: "ONE THING YOU GOTTA KNOW ABOUT THIS WORLD, MAN: IF THE SERVICE IS FREE, YOU ARE THE PRODUCT."
Panel 3: The surprised character listens while the scruffy character continues to explain, with the scruffy character holding one hand up as if making a point.
The comic reflects a humorous take on the idea that free services often come with hidden costs.
