Coffeemaxxing Zoom Cheer Meets Doomer Dev's Tea Cope
Description
A two-panel webcomic in muted wojak-comic style. The top panel shows a laptop screen with a video call grid: four small participant tiles along the top (cartoonish coworkers on green, pink, red, and yellow backgrounds) above a large main speaker - a grinning orange-haired woman with prominent teeth saying 'Soooo anyone else coffeemaxxing during these morning meetings?'. Standard call controls (mic, camera, participants, share, End button) line the bottom of the window. The bottom panel reveals the other side of the call: a gaunt, shirtless, gray-skinned doomer figure sitting in the dark in a gaming chair before an Apple laptop, curtains drawn, clutter around him, replying with forced enthusiasm 'We stay drinking tea, girl!', 'Coffee mogs tea!', 'HAHAHAHA!'. The comic (signed 'vost') skewers remote-work meeting culture: the performative small talk and forced camaraderie of morning standups versus the bleak off-camera reality of the work-from-home developer mirroring corporate cheerfulness back through the lens, complete with internet-brainrot slang like 'coffeemaxxing' and 'mogs'

Remote work invented the human equivalent of a health-check endpoint: returns 200 OK and 'HAHAHAHA!' while the actual process is deadlocked in a dark room
The meeting reports every participant healthy; the human container has been OOMKilled since Tuesday.
