Comic Strip Title: "Feature Creep"

Summary:

The comic strip depicts a meeting between two individuals, one of whom is introducing a new feature to their product. The other person is skeptical, asking if the feature will be used by anyone on earth. The first person responds by changing everything they say into a bizarre absolute statement, causing confusion and chaos in the meeting. The strip humorously highlights the challenges of feature creep, where new features are added to a product without considering their practicality or usability.
