This two-panel cartoon depicts a financial advisor sitting at a desk with a laptop and paperwork, speaking to a couple seated across from him. The advisor looks down at his desk and says in a speech bubble, "DON'T LOOK NOW, FOLKS...." The couple, a tall, thin man and a woman with blonde hair, look at the advisor with concern. The woman says in a speech bubble, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WE CAME TO YOU FOR ADVICE ON OUR 401(k)S." The advisor looks up at the couple with a slight smirk and says in a speech bubble, "AND THAT'S JUST WHAT I GAVE YOU."
