A five-panel comic. Panel 1: a smiling older man in a suit and red tie says, "Hey! Wanna play 'You're Fired Tag'?" Panel 2: a younger man with light hair, viewed from behind by an office window, replies, "What?" Panel 3: the older man reaches out and touches him, saying, "Tag! You're it!" Panel 4: a close-up of the younger man's stricken face as he stammers, "I... I... but." Panel 5: the older man rests a hand on the younger man's shoulder and strides away, saying, "No tagbacks." The joke turns being fired into a cruel game of tag. Votey: the grinning older man adds, "Now for a severance pay scavenger hunt!"
