A caption above the comic reads: "Business shows are way better if you imagine 'the economy' is the name of an angry giant who rules the world." In the panel, two TV news anchors sit at a desk against a purple backdrop. A blonde woman in a purple jacket holding papers says, "Well, if the economy tumbles, a lot of real estate will be at risk." A man in a dark suit replies, "Yes, the economy looms large over the President right now. Sources say it's been consuming his cabinet all week" -- the joke being these ordinary business-news phrases now describe a literal monstrous giant devouring people. Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): a close-up of the male anchor saying, "The Chinese economy may outgrow all others within ten years," implying a second rival giant growing ever larger.
