IF YOUR IDEA IS SO GOOD, WHY ARENT OTHER COMPANIES DOING IT?

Summary:

The comic strip features a conversation between two characters, one of whom is trying to sell an idea to the other. The salesman is enthusiastic about his idea, but the potential buyer is unimpressed.

Key Points:

• The salesman's idea is not innovative or unique.
• The buyer is skeptical because the idea is not revolutionary.
• The buyer suggests that the salesman try his idea in a different business with different variables.
• The salesman is frustrated and asks what happens if they try the idea but it fails.
• The buyer responds that it's "business as usual."

Overall:

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea that businesses often prioritize profits over innovation. The salesman's enthusiasm and the buyer's skepticism highlight the challenges of getting new ideas accepted in a competitive market.
