Summary:
- The comic strip features a conversation between two coworkers, with one employee expressing frustration about receiving advice from their mentor, Alice.
- The employee is unsure if Alice's advice is genuine or a hoax.
- In response, the other coworker suggests that Alice may be giving the employee a "wedgie" (a playful, non-serious comment) as a way to assert her authority.

- The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of assertive behavior in the workplace and the potential for misunderstandings or miscommunications.
