I NEED YOU TO CRITIQUE MY PRESENTATION FOR THE BOARD.

AND DON'T HOLD BACK TO SPARE MY FEELINGS.

THAT PROBABLY WON'T BE AN ISSUE.

WE GOT THIS.

MY PRODUCT IDEA HAS THREE COMPONENTS.

Idea HOW DO YOU KNOW ANOTHER COMPANY ISN'T SECRETLY PREPARING TO LAUNCH THE SAME PRODUCT?

WHAT KIND OF STUPID QUESTION IS THAT?

IT'S THE SAME QUESTION YOU ASKED ME YESTERDAY ABOUT MY PRODUCT IDEA.

THE BOARD WONT ASK THAT.

DON'T BE SO SURE.

I HEAR THEY'RE IDIOTS.

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.
