Startup Katt

#26: A Visit From the Reddit Police

Three-panel Startup Cat strip on the corner of Maple Street, under a street sign reading r/startups. In panel one Startup Cat sits at his standing desk in sunglasses and a Patagonia vest, a Founder Fuel mug, potted plant and KATT backpack beside him and a sign reading Startup Cat, Founder in Residence, as two moderators in Reddit caps arrive with an r/startups rules clipboard and tell him he is in violation of Rule 4; he asks what Rule 4 is. In panel two one moderator smashes the desk with a sledgehammer, sending the laptop and plant flying, and says no self-promotion, while the other holds up a sign reading permanently banned; Startup Cat wails, but I live here. In panel three Startup Cat sits grinning in the wreckage with a plaster on his cheek as the moderators walk away, saying you don't get this kind of hate unless you're winning.
Panel 1: On the corner of Maple Street, under an "r/startups" street sign, Startup Cat types at his standing desk beside a "Founder Fuel" mug and a sign reading "Startup Cat, Founder in Residence." Two Reddit moderators arrive holding an "r/startups RULES" clipboard. Moderator: "You're in violation of Rule 4." Startup Cat: "What's Rule 4?" Panel 2: A moderator smashes the desk with a sledgehammer while the other holds up a sign reading "PERMANENTLY BANNED." Moderator: "No self-promotion." Startup Cat: "But I live HERE!" Panel 3: Startup Cat sits grinning in the wreckage of his desk as the moderators walk off. Startup Cat: "You don't get this kind of hate unless you're WINNING."

How'd this one land?
