Description

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

Title: YOU CAN MAKE YOUR BOSS’S SPEECH MORE MEMORABLE BY REPLACING THEIR MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE WITH RICHARD II’S SPEECH TO THE PEASANTS AT WALTHAM, 1381

Text:

You wretches detestable on land and sea:
you who seek equality with lords are unworthy to live.
Give this message to your colleagues: rustics you were,
and rustics you are still; you will remain in bondage,
not as before, but incomparably harsher.

For as long as we live we will strive to suppress you,
and your misery will be an example in the eyes of posterity.

• Wayne Gretzky

Dialogue:

WHAT?
WHY ARE YOU STARING?
IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY HAIR?
