Panel 1: Two people stand next to each other. Person 1 waves their arms frantically. "A.I. is going to take all of our jobs!" Person 1 says. "Great! When?" Person 2 says. Panel 2: "The're predicting mass unemployment in five to ten years!" Person 1 says. Person 2 looks at their watch. "Cool. Any way to speed that up?" they say. Panel 3: "What? Why?" Person 1 says. "I'm working a double shift at the Fart Factory this weekend and I'm NOT looking forward to it," Person 2 says. Panel 4: "Well at least you still HAVE a job!" says Person 1. "It's THE FART FACTORY, David" says Person 2.

1. A runner perches on the starting line of a race. A nearby sign reads "2025 Start." Behind the sign, a judge looks at their watch and holds a starting pistol in the air. "This year will be my year!" says the runner. 2. The judge fires the pistol: "bang!" The runner takes off smiling. 3. The runner trips on uneven ground. 4. The runner faceplants on the hard ground. THWAP! 5. The runner lies face down on the ground. 6. Wider to reveal the runner only a few feet from the starting line. "Leave me here until next January," says the runner.

1. Kevin slouches on his couch, bags under his eyes, playing his Switch. Next to him, an empty bag of Doritos and a few empty beer bottles. His bird, perched above him, leans in. "Umm… are you okay?" the bird asks. Kevin replies, "I read that playing Tetris helps distract your brain from anxious thoughts."
2. His bird looks concerned. "You've been playing for the last nine hours straight," he says. Kevin looks up briefly. "Have you seen the news lately?" he asks his bird.
3. His bird looks off into the distance, thinking, as Kevin goes back to his game.
4. Kevin continues playing, his bird nestled under his arm. The bird lays its head on Kevin's chest, watching him play.

My tweet that reads: My prediction for The Bear S3: the new restaurant struggles to find upscale clientele in their blue-collar neighborhood, but the sandwich window thrives. Carmy realizes he opened the restaurant to serve himself, not the community. He reverts it to a (more upscale) sandwich shop.

1. Catwoman straddles a prone Batman. With a sly smile, she traces her finger across the bat-symbol on his chest. "So tell me…" she purrs, "What's the Big Bad Bat -really- afraid of?"
2. A close-up on Batman. He looks… sad? "Honestly?" he says, "I'm afraid that, if I fully process my childhood trauma and grief… I'll lose my motivation to fight crime."
3. A close-up on Catwoman. She looks away in discomfort as Batman continues. "…And since crime-fighting is such a big part of my identity, I'm afraid losing it will change how I define my masculinity," he says.
4. Catwoman sits on the couch of her hideout, looking out the window, concerned. Behind her, Poison Ivy leans over to gossip. "Sooo… how's it going with Batman?" Ivy asks. Catwoman replies, "Honestly, it's been a bit heavy since he started going to therapy…"

A cartoon drawing of me not hyped at all

Panel 1: A website—personified with glasses, a moustache, and arms and hands—sits in a chair at a desk. Across its forehead is written EVERY JOB SITE. "Just give me your resumé," it beckons to someone off-camera, "And I'll auto-populate our application for you!" Panel 2: Wide shot revealing Kevin sitting on the other side of the desk. Wearing a short-sleeved dress shirt and red tie, he hands his resume to the website. Panel 3: The website adjusts its glasses, looking at Kevin's resume. "Ah!" it says. "I see your last job was 'Resumé' with a start date of 'Baltimore' and an end date of 'Microsoft Word'." Panel 4: Reverse on Kevin. He frowns and beckons the website to give him his paper back. "-Sigh- Just let me do it," he says.

1. In a dark police squad room, a tech sits in front of a monitor and keyboard. "Sergeant!" he says. "We have security camera footage from the crime scene!" The sergeant leans over his shoulder. "Show me," he says.
2. Close on the monitor: grainy footage of a parking garage. The sergeant points at a small, dark silhouette of a figure walking. "There's our perp," he says. "Enhance!"
3. The footage zooms in 200% on the silhouette. Not much more detail. "Enhance again!" the seargant says.
4. The footage zooms in to 400%. A little contrast in the figure, but still not enough. "Enhance using generative A.I.!" the sergeant commands.
5. The footage transforms into a purple-haired anime waifu with… a rather large chest. She winks and throws up the "peace" sign.
6. Back to the tech and the sergeant. "Nice," the sergeant says, smiling.

1: Kevin lays in bed, startled awake by a large, purple monster kicking in the door. Across the monster's chest, the word "GRUSTLE" is written. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN BED?" the monster bellows. "AMBITION NEVER SLEEPS!"
2: The monster jumps on the foot of Kevin's bed, causing it and Kevin to shoot up at attention. "WHILE YOU'RE IN HERE, SOMEONE'S OUT THERE STEALING YOUR SUCCESS!" the monster roars.
3: "GET UP! GET OUT!! GET TO WORK!!!" the monster yells. "AAAAAAAH!" Kevin screams in terror.
4: The next morning, Kevin is in the office breakroom. His coworker observes, "Dude. You look like crap." Hunched over his coffee, disheveled, with a crazy look in his eye, Kevin mutters, "Can't sleep… Grustle Monster will get me!"

Royal Tenenbaum's epitaph - which reads "Royal O'Reilly Tenenbaum. 1932-2001. Died tragically rescuing his family from the wreckage of a destroyed sinking battleship

Panel 1: Kevin slumps on the couch, playing a video game. His eyes sleepy. His hair disheveled. He hasn't shaved. Empty delivery container, dirty laundry, and trash are strewn everywhere. He's wearing sweatpants and only one sock - that has a hole in it. Panel 2: Kevin sits perfectly erect on the same couch in a bright orange hazmat suit. His living room is sparkling clean. His face is frozen in a wide, toothy smile of anxiety. Sweat beads on his brow. On the endtable sits a single glass of red wine. He'll never drink it.

Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Hold on Zuckerberg. Panel 5: "You're all fired," Zuck says.

A promo video for show

Panel 1: Sitting on the stage of a conference interview, Mark Zuckerberg — wearing a chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude" — is being interviewed by a journalist. "Any questions for Mr. Zuckerberg?" the interviewer asks. "Yes, here in the front?" Panel 2: A person stands up from the crowd and asks, "Yeah hi. Instead of wasting billions on A.I. that no one wants, why not use that money to pay us creators a living wage so we can keep making real, human content that will make your platforms more naturally compelling?" Panel 3: Zuck answers, "Because you idiots already do that for free." Panel 4: The person in the audience scowls.
