The tragic beauty of humanity's obsession with clean aesthetics and the elegance of tidy endings

A four-panel comic depicts fireflies trying to mate, but humans mistake them for fireflies and then raking up all the dead leaves they need to lay eggs. The fireflies are shown as glowing insects with speech bubbles, while humans are simple stick figures in red and green. The panels show the fireflies calling for mates, humans excitedly pointing at them, one human lamenting their rarity, and the final panel showing a human raking leaves into bags while the fireflies look on. The text is overlaid in speech bubbles and captions.
