Description

Comic Description:

The comic features two characters in an office setting.

Top Panel:

• A yellow background contains the text: "ETYMOLOGICAL FUN FACT: THE WORD 'IMMEDIATE' DERIVES FROM THE ROOTS 'IM-' MEANING 'NOT' AND 'MEDIATUS' MEANING 'IN THE MIDDLE,' GIVING THE SENSE THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE WITHOUT DELAY BY OTHER ACTIVITIES."

Bottom Panel:

• The left character is an older man with glasses, dressed in a black suit and holding several papers in one hand.

• He says: "STEVE, THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ANALYSIS."

• The right character, a younger man with brown hair, is sitting at a desk in front of a computer. He is wearing a red shirt and looking impatient.
• He replies: "I’LL HAVE IT DONE MEDITATELY!"

The comic humorously plays on the word "immediate" by the younger character misusing "mediately" instead.
