Comic #7231: leisure
Description
Here's a detailed description of the comic you provided:
Panel 1: Two characters are standing under a large tree. The first character, on the left, is wearing a green shirt and is looking upwards with a thoughtful expression. The second character, on the right, has short dark hair and is wearing a pink top. They are speaking.
- Text: "Do you think in the future we'll have more leisure time?"
Panel 2: The scene shifts to emphasize the second character as they talk, gesturing animatedly. Their expression conveys frustration or disbelief.
- Text: "Look at parenting. Modern conveniences made housekeeping much easier. Did we use that time for philosophy, self-cultivation, and tranquility? No, we tripled the time spent 'enriching' our kids with shit neither we nor the kids want to do."
Panel 3: We see the first character looking slightly bemused, while the second continues to explain.
- Text: "Why? So we can force all other parents into a zero-sum bidding war for social supremacy."
Panel 4: Now a broader focus showcases both characters looking contemplative. In a smaller box to the right, the second character's expression has become one of concern or resignation.
- Text: "Stands to reason that if technology makes housekeeping, kids, work, and everything else easy, we'll just find some other way to compete for status."
Panel 5: The first character appears somewhat dejected after this last statement.
- Text: "God, that's bleak."
Panel 6: The second character raises their hand as if interjecting into the conversation.
- Text: "Hey! Are you recording this…?"
Panel 7: The focus shifts to the first character, who is now holding a phone, looking at it with mock cheer.
- Text: "…and please like and subscribe so my like and subscribe numbers are bigger numbers."
