Hell and High Water: Office Stress Cartoon Illustration #1439492 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white editorial cartoon depicts a horned, tail-wagging devil standing beside a harried office worker seated at a desk floating in turbulent water. The worker grips a phone while staring blankly at a computer screen, as the devil quips, “OK, but what about Hell and high water?”-a pun blending literal flooding with metaphorical disaster. The scene wittily critiques corporate underpreparedness and the absurdity of ignoring obvious risks.
