A single-panel comic. In the foreground, a person with dark hair and round glasses is shown in profile. Facing them is a glum, downcast man in a sweater vest. The glasses-wearer says in a speech bubble: "Ahh, so basically suicide in slow motion." A caption below reads: "This is the best possible response to someone describing his job." The joke is that this dismissive line is presented as the universally correct reply whenever anyone describes their job. Votey (bonus panel): a handwritten Python-style code snippet titled "sadness.py" reading: var = raw_input("What is your job?") then print "So, basically suicide in slow motion." — automating the response regardless of what job is entered.
