    • One employee is practicing in front of a mirror.
    • Another employee is sleeping at their desk.
  • The boss is oblivious to the fact that his employees are not actually working, and instead, are engaged in their own personal activities.
  • The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of a boss who is out of touch with reality and expects unrealistic standards from his employees.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
