The structure of this feels off, the punchline already happened in panel two and the text in panel three isn’t adding anything. A panel 3 without text would be funnier imo because it would let the joke soak, I also think moving the punchline to panel 3 would have worked better.
I think the punchline is him opening the vat so it can kill humanz and solve the climate crisis, without the third one it could just be him inventing random stuff/wasting money (I only got the joke on panel 3)
Why does he look sad and say “you can go”
Instead of “Precisely! Spring Terror!” Or something like that?
Maybe it eats plastic waste, absorbes three forests worth of carbon, and shits gold?
Or maybe it eats people. Arguably way more effective.
Basically, FEV.
Maybe they could have described the assignment better. Like “Solve Climate change without killing the majority of the world population” or something.
I like it, he looks like the alien from Pitch Black
