A Good Little Sub

Cassie Cruz is facing the kind of pressure that makes even a seasoned supervillain sweat.

She’s got a video call with the CEO to explain budget overruns, and the stress is building fast. Her thoughts are exploding like a ticking bomb. The pressure is mounting. The stakes are high.

And Jeremy… well… Jeremy has a solution.

Apparently, when Cassie’s under too much stress, a good little sub might be exactly what she needs. 

Sometimes the best assistants know exactly how to help their boss decompress.

Three-panel comic featuring a stressed businesswoman, Cassie Cruz, and her assistant Jeremy. In the first panel, Cassie holds her head while saying, “I have a video call with the CEO to discuss our budget overruns!” Jeremy… stands beside her as she continues, “I can’t do that in this condition!” with thought bubbles showing a ticking clock, a bomb, and her anxious brain.

In the second panel, a close-up of Cassie looking panicked as she exclaims, “I’m under too much pressure! Too much stress! What am I gonna do??”

In the third panel, Cassie smiles at her assistant and says, “Oh, Jeremy… you never miss a beating.” Jeremy gestures confidently while a thought bubble shows a submarine (a “sub”), implying a suggestive double meaning to relieve her “pressure.”
