A man in a business suit stands on a stage before a red curtain with his arms spread wide, presenting to an audience whose heads appear as black silhouettes in the foreground. His speech bubble reads: "And these are the people who will never respect you if this company fails and you lose your job." A caption below reads: "We successfully combined Motivation Day and Bring-Your-Kid-to-Work Day." In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of a cheerfully smiling child says, "Work harder, providers!" The joke: the speaker is using the workers' own children as a manipulative motivational tool, and the kids have enthusiastically bought in.
