The drawing represents two Google executives (Prabhakar Raghavan and Sundar Pichai) standing in front of a large sign. Both are holding multicolor pens and seem to have altered the slogans written on the sign, as follows. "Don't be evil" (added: "unless it's profitable"). "Put the user first" (added: "and the stock price zeroth"). "80%" (striked through, replaced with "120 hours / week") on your main project, 20% on innovative ideas" (second half striked through). "Organize" ("organ" striked through, replaced with "monet") the world's information.

In the first panel, the narrator says "Some people, when depressed, have a hard time falling asleep..." Below is a character lying in bed, at night, with eyes wide open and a thought bubble full of black tangled squiggly lines. Everything in drawn in greyscale. (On the bedside table: a lamp, glasses, a book.)

In the second panel, the same narrator says "... while some others (that's me) treat dreams as an escape and basically sleep all the time." Below is a character lying in bed, this time during the day (sunlight enters the room through a window, the only thing with some color, everything else is greyscale), and hiding his face under two pillows. The same thoughts bubble is full of black tangled squiggly lines.

In the third panel, the narrator says "Some find comfort in food..." (below, a greyscale character has his mouth wide open and is holding two huge colorful burgers, one in each hand — same thought bubble), and then "... and some (that's me) by and large just stop eating. It's amazing how fast one loses weight that way." accompanied by a character (same thought bubble) lying in bed, hiding his head under his pillows.

In the fourth and last panel, the same character is this time drawn in color, and makes a "thumbs up" gesture. Above him is written "DEPRESSION — Dieting reinvented — Efficient (5 stars), Fast (5 stars), Healthy (1 star), Fun (0.5 star)".

@cbreuel This is great!! I didn't know about those. Thank you so much for sharing :-)

A comic about mental health, risky? You think? 😅

The comic contains 4 panels. In the first panel, a male character wearing a red top and dark blue jeans is pacing, palms facing the ceiling, and says: "The problem with trying to write about depression...".

A second speech bubble from the same character bleeds into the second panel: "... is that when I'm in the middle of one, I know exactly what it's like, but I'm utterly incapable of writing a single word". The rest of the panel is dark and in greyscale only. The same character is lying in bed, his face down against the pillow. A dark thought bubble comes from his head, containing a ball of tangled squiggly black lines.

In the third panel, the same character appears in color again, and is running around happily. The speech bubble on top has some flowers and sunshine: "Conversely, once I've fully recovered, I'm keen on writing, but my depressed mind feels so foreign that I'm no longer able to comprehend nor describe it". Two more speech bubbles contain the same ball of tangled black lines, crossed out with red X marks.

In the last panel, a speech bubble reads "The only way is to be in an intermediate state and initiate a dialog between two sides of the same mind". Below, two version of the same character are facing each other, one colorful and one all in greyscale. The speech bubbles pointing to the colorful character are full of flowers and sunshine, but in the last one, a ball of tangled lines has crept in. The speech bubbles pointing to the greyscale character are full of balls of tangled black lines, but in the last one, a monochrome flower has crept in.

@manu @caseynewton @zoeschiffer

Thanks for being our voices.

@jt_rebelo Thank you so much!! Added it to the image :-) 🙏🙏🙏

Cartoon showing a large number of people walking around a table with iPhones in their hands and looking at them. In the background we can see silhouettes of people also using Apple devices, since the white apple is seen, but not those people faces.
At the table, in the bottom of the image, there are several persons sitting, all using Apple laptops.
At the center bottom of the image, against a white background, is written in black "Think different.".

@tjk @niethardt Sorry this is less obvious than I thought 😅 It's a reflection on the recent Google Maps redesign where the water is teal instead of blue.

The cartoon has three panels picturing a very simple scenery, with sun, blue sky, sea, and hills. The first panel is labelled "Apple". The second panel, which looks identical, is named labelled "Bing". The third panel is labelled "Google" and the colors are very different: the sea is teal instead of blue, the sky is light purple, the grass is blue-ish.

@msbellows Please throw in Putin 😝

@Tom_Huth Yay! Thank you for getting it :-)

Panel 1: Alice and the sloth are sitting down against a tree trunk. Alice: "Human memory is really annoying."

Panel 2, Alice: "I'm only 18 and I can hardly remember anything" from when I was 13."

Panel 3, the sloth: "Is there a series of books or movies that you absolutely love?" Alice: "Sure."

Panel 4, the sloth: "Well then, when you're 23 you'll be able to enjoy it again from the start because you'll have forgotten everything." Alice: "Let me guess: you're the 'glass half full' type."

The cartoon shows one man wearing a Google-branded hat and a blue shirt talking to a woman in a red shirt. Panel 1. The man: "Hello user! Have you tried Bard?" The woman: "I did. But I think ChatGPT still works better." Panel 2. The man: "A ha! Now we have Gemini, which will be even better!" Panel 3. The woman: "Oh, Google... You've been in this specific market for just 6 months, and already you've manager to make your branding confusing." The man: "Okay but 12 people got promoted."

@Tom_Huth Thank you! Much more to come 😊

Panel 1: Alice and the sloth are lying down on the grass. Alice: "I just don't understand this world at all...". The sloth: "Yeah... everything is so broken and unfair..."

Panel 2: Alice says "What should we do about it?"

Panel 3: Alice: "Hello?"

Panel 4: The sloth: "zzzzZZZZZZZZZ". Alice: "Well I guess that's one philosophy."
