Main comic: A single panel shows two smiling women talking. The woman on the left, with long hair and a t-shirt, says cheerfully: "Hello fellow worker! Sorry I'm tired, but I'm frantically creating content about taking time to love yourself, so I can make rent this month." The woman on the right replies brightly: "I'm AI-generating poems about the value of self-expression!" A caption beneath the panel reads: "Future people cosplaying our era will be unintentionally brutal." The joke is that these cheerful, wellness-positive statements actually describe a grim economic reality, so future people reenacting the era for fun would unwittingly reproduce its bleakness.

Votey: A close-up of the same two women, both still smiling. A speech bubble points to the woman on the left, saying: "I'm hungry because food costs money!" — continuing the same upbeat-tone-meets-bleak-content joke.
