Man, some of the things this (fictional) guy says really hit home in terms of the ever-growing capacity to mechanize the scenic industry.

Luckily, this is still mostly true, but those robots are getting better all the time.
I liked this so much, I’m half-tempted to write a script paralleling this one about my job:

The cartoon was made by Michael A. Charles, whose website is found here. He seems like a fairly wonderful person.
