clothes
Explanation
The Joke
The comic is a two-panel strip. In the top panel, a Terminator-like figure (naked, muscular, menacing) bursts into what appears to be a clothing store or office and demands: "Give me your clothes, boots." Someone off-panel starts to respond "But--" and the Terminator cuts them off: "ALL of them. Now!" This directly references the iconic scene from The Terminator (and Terminator 2) where the time-traveling cyborg arrives naked and immediately demands clothing from the nearest person.
The bottom panel, labeled "Earlier," shows what appears to be a job interview or business meeting. A hiring manager tells a candidate: "I always say, dress for the job you want, not the job you have." The joke is that the Terminator took this common career advice literally: he "dressed for the job he wanted" -- which in his case is being a terrifying, unstoppable killing machine who steals people's clothes at gunpoint. The career advice cliche becomes the origin story for the Terminator's behavior.
The Humor
The joke works by connecting two completely unrelated cultural touchstones -- the Terminator's signature clothes-theft scene and the banal workplace platitude "dress for the job you want" -- and presenting one as the logical consequence of the other. The "Earlier" label implies a causal chain: someone gave the Terminator standard career coaching, and he interpreted it in the most violent way possible. It also pokes fun at how hollow the "dress for the job you want" advice really is by showing what happens when someone applies it with total sincerity and zero social awareness.
References
The comic parodies the 1984 film The Terminator (directed by James Cameron), specifically the scene where the T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) arrives from the future naked and demands clothes from the first people he encounters. The line "Give me your clothes, your boots" is a paraphrase of the Terminator's famous demand.
