prometheus
Explanation
This comic retells the Greek myth of Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity, but filters it through modern cynicism about how humans respond to gifts and knowledge.
Prometheus dramatically announces "Humanity! I give you fire!" from a mountaintop. The humans below respond with a series of escalating complaints and misunderstandings: they worry about regulations, question his credentials, and note that an eagle will eat his liver as punishment from the gods. Prometheus tries to explain that fire is genuinely transformative, but the humans keep missing the point or finding reasons to be dissatisfied.
The comic escalates as Prometheus points out that large regions of the universe are already on fire (stars), but humans complain that "they don't" care about cosmic fire. Later panels show modern-looking people continuing to be unimpressed or confused by the gift. The punchline arrives when someone finally picks up "the book" (presumably instructions) and reads it for a while, only for Prometheus to admit he was "making it up" -- suggesting that even the original gift-giver didn't fully understand what he was offering.
The joke is a commentary on how humanity consistently responds to transformative innovations with skepticism, bureaucratic objections, and ingratitude, while also poking fun at the idea that the people offering grand solutions don't always understand them either.
