monster-3
Explanation
This comic features a confrontation between a person and a monster (who appears to be some kind of corporate creature). The person calls the monster out: "Oh my God! A monster! Under the bed! And you ate our kids!" The monster's defense is darkly corporate: "To be clear, the accountability does not lie with me personally. I'm part of a multinational conglomerate of monsters whose jobs you don't even know are possible to describe."
The person protests, but the monster continues with increasingly corporate-speak justifications. When told "You can die," the monster retorts with a speech about how its replacement would still exhaust the person's health and wealth while gaining no real accountability. The final panel shows the monster advising the person to "say hi to the other executives" -- revealing the person is also part of the corporate structure.
The joke is a satire of corporate accountability (or the lack thereof). The monster under the bed is a metaphor for corporate malfeasance -- it literally eats children, but it deflects blame through the diffusion of responsibility that characterizes large organizations. Nobody is personally accountable because everyone is just a cog in the machine. The final twist, where the human is revealed to also be an executive, suggests complicity: we are all part of the monstrous system. This is a commentary on how corporate structures make it impossible to assign individual moral blame even for clearly harmful outcomes.
