A SMBC comic. A single panel shows a job interview: a blonde woman in a red top sits with her back to us, gesturing, facing a man with orange hair in a blue shirt and tie who has a hand on his chest. She asks, "What do you feel you would bring to this company?" He answers, "Quiet brooding desperation!" The caption below reads, "I could immediately sense he'd done office work before" — the joke being that defeated resignation is exactly the trait office work instills. Votey (aftercomic): a crude sketch of a man's blank, deadpan face saying, "My greatest weakness is my personality."
