Title: "Touch Base"
Summary:
- The comic strip depicts a conversation between two characters, one of whom asks the other to "touch base."
- The second character responds by asking if they can restate the request using normal words.
- The first character then asks if it would feel as if they are not managing the other person if they don't use the phrase "touch base."
- The comic strip humorously highlights the use of corporate jargon and the desire to avoid appearing unprofessional.
