Comic Strip Title: "Day One: Not So Good"

Summary:

The comic strip follows the story of Tom Peters, a management consultant, as he attempts to implement his advice on branding at a company. The strip consists of three panels, each depicting a different scene.

Panel 1:

• Tom Peters is sitting at his desk, addressing an employee.
• He says, "I'm going to follow Tom Peters' advice and become my own brand."
• The employee looks unimpressed.

Panel 2:

• Tom Peters is standing in front of an employee, saying, "The phrase you're least likely to hear is, 'I gotta get me some of that.'"
• The employee responds with a skeptical expression.

Panel 3:

• Tom Peters is standing alone, looking dejected.
• He says, "Day one: not so good."
• The background is a pale green color, with a black border around the strip.

Overall:

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of branding and self-promotion, highlighting the potential pitfalls of trying to be one's own brand. The use of Tom Peters' name adds a layer of irony, as he is a well-known management consultant who has written extensively on the topic of branding. The strip's humor lies in its relatability and clever wordplay.
