A two-panel comic. Panel 1: A balding boss stands behind a desk, arms raised, demanding of an employee, "GIVE ME YOUR CLOTHES, BOSS-- ALL OF THEM. NOW!" The employee, seen from behind, starts to protest, "BUT--". Panel 2, labeled "EARLIER": The same two men sit across a desk in an office, and the red-haired employee says, "I ALWAYS SAY DRESS FOR THE JOB YOU WANT, NOT THE JOB YOU HAVE." The joke: the employee has taken the career-advice idiom literally and is now demanding his boss's clothes to dress as the boss. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the exasperated boss's face with the line, "I REALLY FEEL YOU'VE TAKEN THAT IDIOM A BIT TOO FAR."
