Key Points:
- The corporate office sends a message to the Elbonian satellite launching program.
- The message mentions the delivery of a French satellite.

- The Elbonian program reveals that they have already launched their own satellite, using a town slingshot.

Humor and Satire:
The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of a corporate office being unaware of the progress of their own satellite launching program. The use of a town slingshot to launch the satellite is an absurd and humorous solution. The declaration of war on the French embassy adds to the comedic tone, highlighting the Elbonian program's frustration with the French satellite. Overall, the comic strip uses satire to comment on the inefficiencies and absurdities of corporate bureaucracy.
