Sometimes I feel like I'm just the CEO of my brain, listening to a horde of advisors.

Man: Okay.
Brain 3: You need to relax!

Man: How do you even exist?!

Two-panel comic about a man whose brain is run like a company by a horde of floating brains acting as advisors. Panel one, captioned 'Sometimes I feel like I'm just the CEO of my brain, listening to a horde of advisors,' shows a calm man in a suit as brains call out 'Eat now!', 'Work harder!', and 'You need to relax!', to which he politely answers 'Okay.' Panel two, captioned 'And that I've made some terrible hiring choices,' shows the same man now exasperated and rubbing his brow as the brains give absurd or terrible advice: 'Eat a thousand Twinkies,' 'Base your decision on race,' and 'Jump off that ledge!' He replies 'No?', 'No!', and finally 'How do you even exist?!' In the votey aftercomic, a woman with wavy hair listens to a floating brain that advises, 'Change your last name to Weinersmith!' (a nod to cartoonist Zach Weinersmith).
