Tethered to Capitalism

i’m tethered to the third dimension by this body and capitalism HELLO, HUMAN RESOURCES?! INAPPROPRIAT fear me not AWWW,YOU’RE inconceivable

A surreal two-panel office comic shows a suited man explaining that he is tethered to the third dimension by his body and capitalism, while an office worker answers the phone. In the second panel, a bizarre winged creature declares “fear me not,” and the worker responds flirtatiously that it is inconceivable, turning existential horror into an absurd workplace interaction. It is used as a reaction to feeling trapped by capitalism or to jokingly present oneself as strange and intimidating.
