Afficionado, this is a darkly funny cartoon not related to anything in real life except by chance. Probably there is no cartoon that can’t be discovered to relate to some news item even if the cartoonist was unaware of it. To all commentators, if you keep commenting on his comment, you keep it at at the top where it’s the first thing we see. Ignore it and it will drop back to its proper place.
One of their employees just went through the window, no doubt followed by a very loud SPLAT! on the sidewalk, and his big concern is placing another help wanted ad. Sounds like a typical large corporation.
Unfortunately, if someone checks the reviews on glassdoor.com, they’ll likely be misled by the statement, “People are dying to work here.”
Finally, which is higher: their insurance costs or the price of replacement glass?

Possibly not wise to do your slip n slide R&D on the 34th floor.

AFFICIONADO, perhaps you should not visit comic strips with that sort of mind set.

What genius put that department on the top floor; someone with a warped sense of humor?

Time to rethink the Floor-to-Ceiling windows. Or, maybe, just start at the other end? It is the running start that gets you, every time.

It seems OSHA would require safety bars after the first time.
