Comic Strip Title: "The Undead Engineer"

Summary:

• The comic strip depicts a humorous scene where an engineer, who is undead, is introduced to a new team member.
• The engineer's hand is described as "soft and clammy," which is a characteristic of the undead.
• The engineer's appearance and behavior are exaggerated to comedic effect, with his eyes glowing red and his skin pale.
• The other characters in the scene are oblivious to the engineer's true nature, adding to the humor of the situation.
• The comic strip pokes fun at the stereotype of engineers being nerdy and socially awkward, while also highlighting the absurdity of an undead person working in a corporate setting.
