Summary

The comic strip revolves around a conversation between Ted, an employee, and Catbert, the evil director of human resources. Ted is being transferred to a job with a higher risk of industrial accidents and is asked to wear a safety harness. However, he objects, citing that the harness will involve reaching over a vat of acid while wearing no safety harness. Catbert responds by explaining that they have a vat of acid, which is toxic and takes forever to take effect, implying that it is safe to be around.
