Comic Strip Title: "The Art of Procrastination"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 2013, revolves around a common workplace scenario where an employee consistently fails to meet deadlines. The strip is divided into three panels, each highlighting a different aspect of the situation.

Panel 1:

• The first panel shows the boss addressing the employee, stating, "You didn't finish your assignment by the deadline."
• The employee responds with a sheepish expression, implying that they are aware of their tardiness.

Panel 2:

• In the second panel, the boss explains that the project's delay is not only due to the employee's slowness but also because the project cannot move forward until everyone completes their tasks.
• The employee appears unconcerned, sipping a drink and seemingly unbothered by the situation.

Panel 3:

• The final panel depicts the boss asking the employee how they plan to finish the task on time.
• The employee responds with a nonchalant attitude, saying, "Wait for it... wait... finish that thing?"
• The boss looks on, incredulous at the employee's lack of urgency.

Overall:

The comic strip humorously portrays the consequences of procrastination in a workplace setting. It highlights the impact of delayed tasks on the entire team and the employee's seemingly carefree attitude towards meeting deadlines. The strip pokes fun at the common phenomenon of procrastination and its effects on productivity and teamwork.
