Summary:

• The comic strip features a man sitting at a desk, holding a print ad with no text.
• He claims that the ad is a shape with no text, which is a good idea.
• His colleagues are skeptical, asking if it can be green and who the creative person is.
• The man responds that it's all that's left, implying that he is the only one left to come up with ideas.
• The comic strip pokes fun at the idea that creativity can be reduced to a simple shape or color, and that the pressure to come up with new ideas can lead to desperation.
