When karaoke night meets office politics, not everyone’s hitting the right notes.
Desdemona tries to make peace by inviting Cassie to the team's legendary karaoke night—but Count Spurlock isn’t thrilled about shaking up their sacred setlist. Can the group harmony survive a surprise guest… and a few bruised egos?
Narration box:
I know... You want to see what happened at karaoke. So let's backtrack a bit.
Panel 1:
(Count Spurlock and Desdemona at their desks)
Count Spurlock: How did your apology to Cassie go?
Desdemona: Great! She's coming to karaoke tonight!
Panel 2:
(Count Spurlock looks alarmed, pointing)
Count Spurlock: You can't invite her to our end-of-the-quarter karaoke bash!
Desdemona: Why not??
Panel 3:
(Count Spurlock, arms crossed, angry)
Count Spurlock: Because she's management! We blow off steam, complain about bonuses, and scream-sing Bon Jovi. She doesn't belong!
Panel 4:
(Count Spurlock continues passionately)
Count Spurlock: Besides... adding Cassie will completely throw off our arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Panel 5:
(Desdemona shrugs, dismissively)
Desdemona: Oh, poo. She can have my part. It doesn’t take much skill to say "Galileo! Galileo!"
Panel 6:
(Count Spurlock points dramatically)
Count Spurlock: When you had the "Beelzebub" part, you accidentally summoned him!
Desdemona: You're just mad he’s a better tenor than you.
Panel 7:
(Count Spurlock throws up his arms in frustration and storms away.)
Count Spurlock (yelling): AARRGH! This is gonna be "Cell Block Tango" all over again!
Desdemona (making a pinching gesture with her fingers): Squish.
