Sharma gave her personal cellphone number to journalists and influencers. Her new chief strategy officer tutored reporters on the company’s economic challenges. She skillfully dodged questions about her predecessor’s strategic blunders.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: two heavyset fellas sit around an unusual, scrawny humanoid alien at a diner counter. One of the guys pushes a little basket of bread in front of the alien and says, “this here is corn bread.” Panel 2: the alien takes a small bite of the golden corn bread. The alien says, “con… bred.” Panel 3: the alien begins to hover, emitting an otherworldly light and causing gravity to shift around its immediate vicinity. A frightened waitress behind the bar shouts, “what’s happening?!”
