Caption (top): I don't like it. We fed them fresh ingredients, let them free-range.
Speaker (green creature, off to the side): In their natural habitat they eat a lot more chicken nuggets and corn chips.
Green humanoid creature (small, in foreground): AAAH!
Caption (bottom): Farmed humans just do not taste as good as wild-caught.
Votey:
Green creature (off-panel, in speech bubble): Maybe try giving them jobs they hate so they build up more tasty cortisol.

Main comic: A scene among green alien/monster creatures who farm humans for food. A top caption reads, "I don't like it. We fed them fresh ingredients, let them free-range." One green creature explains, "In their natural habitat they eat a lot more chicken nuggets and corn chips." A small green humanoid figure (a captive) cries "AAAH!" The bottom caption delivers the punchline: "Farmed humans just do not taste as good as wild-caught" — mocking gourmet food snobbery by flipping humans into the livestock. Votey (aftercomic): A creature suggests via speech bubble, "Maybe try giving them jobs they hate so they build up more tasty cortisol," while a sweating, distressed human face looks on — escalating the joke to flavoring humans through workplace stress.
