A five-panel comic. A dark-haired woman in a pink suit gives a new curly-haired male employee an office tour. She says they don't think of themselves as an office but more like a family, and that the CEO is like a queen who birthed them all into the family. In a wild-eyed close-up she adds "...sisters" and explains they serve the queen in unity, but one day she will die and they will war to be broodmistress, the survivors obeying whoever wears the crown - describing the workplace like an insect hive colony. The oblivious new employee just asks, "Wow. And is there a coffee lounge?" The woman, gesturing, replies that "chemicals that help you serve the queen" are right this way. Votey: the man looks distressed and uneasy as he reads a small packet labeled "SUGAR," with the word "Sucrose.?" above him - the coffee-lounge sugar reframed as a hive-serving chemical.
