well you see, horses just don’t want to work anymore

[Image description: A stick-figure comic in three pictures.

The first one is a one-horse wagon standing in a pool, with the driver swinging a whip over the horse. The caption reads “Problem: Stuck in mud, can’t proceed”.

The second picture is labelled “Obvious solution”; it’s the same cart and driver, but now with three horses.

The third one is labelled “Corporate solution”: only one horse, but four people whipping it on.
