OUR PLAN FOR REDUCING TURNOVER IS TO ENCOURAGE SMOKING.

THAT WAY, EVERYONE GETS A RELAXING SMOKE BREAK SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY.

AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Smoke Breaks"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 2019, revolves around a company's plan to reduce turnover by encouraging smoking. The conversation unfolds as follows:

  • A group of employees discusses the company's plan to reduce turnover by encouraging smoking.
  • One employee suggests that everyone gets a relaxing smoke break several times a day.
  • Another employee proposes that non-smokers could take breaks instead.
  • The meeting is interrupted, and the employees are informed that the plan has been canceled due to the meeting.

The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of the company's plan and the employees' reactions to it.

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.
