4-panel comic: Panel 1 - Boss figure casually: 'Just put the numbers in a spreadsheet!' waving dismissively. Panel 2 - Hodl optimistic: 'Sure, how hard can it be?' Panel 3 - Screen shows nested formulas, currency symbols, depreciation tables, '17 TAX RATES' visible. Panel 4 - Hodl with thousand-yard stare: 'The numbers lie.' — Starring: Hodl McDougall
