AI Analysis

Title: "Executive Stock Sell-Off"

Summary:

The comic strip depicts a humorous scene where the executives of a company are listed for sale before announcing bankruptcy. The CEO, in a bold move, decides to bring each executive to the roof, hold them by the ankles, and shake them, as a cat would shake a comb. The CEO is shown holding an executive by the ankles, while another executive looks on in shock. The scene is set against a backdrop of a city street, with a car driving by in the background. The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of corporate executives being treated like commodities, and the absurdity of the CEO's plan to "shake" them loose. The use of a cat comb as a metaphor adds to the humor and lightheartedness of the strip. Overall, the comic strip is a witty commentary on the state of corporate America and the often absurd nature of business dealings.
