Still image. Snippet from a larger comic, drawn in the style of dilbert, except with good framing and expressive characters. dilbert speaking to wally, dramatically exclaiming, before contemplatively holding a small golden figurine. Text reads: Every day, I'm told to obey some idiot manager, and I search the armory of my soul and find not one rebellious sword drawn from its scabbard! For years I thought I hated my job! There would've been dignity in that... To beat against these corporate manacles... By god, wally, that would've been manhood! But look here! Look at this employee of the week trophy! You know I actually take pride in it? I feel more for this plastic bauble than an hour of triumph or a week of fucking. Every meaningful urge that time and struggle has gifted to homo sapiens is dead in me! Drowned in a bathtub of mediocrity! And I can't even muster the damned decency to hate it!
