Two photos are presented. One is a photo of the anemone and another of an electron microscopy of staphylococcus aureus. Both are purple and grape like. The caption states “corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture”. The next strip contains a woman saying “they’re the same picture”.

A compass with a plane in the middle. The plane is facing east with an arrow on top right pointing to Mecca 4807km. At the bottom, there’s an arrow that points to Slough. Yes, Slough. 10km.

Emotional support dumpster fire joins plague duck on the work desk 🔥🗑️
An emotional support dumpster fire with a sign that says “it’s fine. I’m fine. Everything is fine!”. It is right next to a duck dressed as a plague doctor.

Competitor bacteria trying to rob from Streptomyces:
An old man leans over saying “call the ambulance” as a guy tries to rob him with a knife. In the next panel, he pulls a knife saying “but not for me”.
