alt text: a 4-panel comic strip by hausofdecline, in a simple, ignorant art style. panel 1: three individuals in suited corporate attire are assembled for a meeting, two seated together, one opposite. the left of the two: "You may be renowned for your negotiation skills, but we will not go any higher than 12%." panel 2: pulling in closer to the third interlocutor, he, with a smirk, goes to pull something out from his briefcase. panel 3: he has pulled a gun, holding it to his head, wearing a smug expression. panel 4: pulled back out to the three businessmen again. the one on the left states, looking irate and exasperated, "Fine, fine. We'll go to 15%." to his right, his fellow associate looks to him says, "See? That's why he's the best." the negotiator across from them remains unwavering, his gun still trained to his head.
