Official transcript

Boss: Alice, people are uncomfortable with your communication style. Alice: Did someone complain? Boss: No, I'm picking it up in their body language. Alice: So.. people have bad posture and that means I don't say things right? Boss: Call it a gut feeling. Alice: Ohhhh. That sounds rational. Let's toss some feng shui into the equation and maybe get a psychic to contact the dead to see what they say bout me. Or maybe everyone could stop being whiny babies! Oh, wait. I see it now.

DID SOMEONE COMPLAIN?

NO. I'M PICKING IT UP IN THEIR BODY LANGUAGE.

SO... PEOPLE HAVE BAD POSTURE AND THAT MEANS I DON'T SAY THINGS RIGHT?

CALL IT A GUT FEELING.

THAT SOUNDS RATIONAL.

LET'S TOSS SOME FENG SHUI INTO THE EQUATION AND MAYBE GET A PSYCHIC TO CONTACT THE DEAD TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ME.

COULD STOP BEING COULD STOP BEING WHINY BABIES!

OH, WAIT, I SEE IT NOW.

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.
