Comic Strip Title: "Overworked"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1997, depicts a humorous scenario in a corporate setting. The story unfolds as follows:

  • An employee is invited to an off-site meeting to discuss how overworked they are.
  • The employee is asked to bring a sack race as part of the meeting's agenda.
  • The employee is then informed that if they are a state trooper, they can shoot any animal that has been hit by a car.

The comic strip pokes fun at the absurdity of corporate meetings and the ridiculous tasks assigned to employees. It highlights the frustration and boredom that can come with being overworked and undervalued in a job.
