Comic Strip Title: "A Promotion in Title"

The comic strip revolves around Ted, who is being promoted to the position of Senior Vice Duke and Imperial Majesty of All Engineering. The conversation begins with Ted's boss, who informs him of his new title. Ted responds by asking if he can have business cards with his new title, to which his boss agrees.
