Summary:

The comic strip depicts a scene where a group of people are gathered in a conference room, with one individual holding a camera. The conversation revolves around the topic of layoffs, with the person holding the camera stating that they will be "sneaking up on people and stamping 'cancelled' on their backs."

The comic strip is a humorous take on the common practice of laying off employees, with the person holding the camera serving as a symbol of the corporate world's often-brutal approach to downsizing. The use of the term "Goodyear Blimp" in the title adds a touch of irony to the strip, highlighting the contrast between the serious nature of the conversation and the lighthearted reference to a well-known brand.
