Mr Soggy Cornflake is entirely my own invention. Its based on a truly useless manager I had at an IT services company. He was so bad that I created this spoof of him and "accidently" released it to management everywhere. Soon enough he did indeed have to visit Miss Boss Lady (a fearsome company Director) and was never seen again... The gift of prophecy...

Prompt: A six-panel whimsical vibrant comic strip with the title "Mr Soggy Cornflake" in colourful Robert Crumb style font. The comic strip features the protagonist Mr Soggy Cornflake who is an anthropomorphic cornflake character (with an irregular cornflake style edge to his body), he has only 3 strands of swept back black hair on top of his head, two amusing white bugs bunny style protruding teeth, white gloves and has numerous large droplets of milk on his orange cornflake coloured body, there are 6 panels and Each panel is captioned:
Mr Soggy Cornflake was unhappy at is managerial job at Cornflake International. He has a speech bubble containing a stream of management buzzwords and platitudes. His team roll their eyes at him and have exasperated expressions.
One day he decided that he had had enough. He was going to talk to the new Miss Boss Lady and demand that she listen to his ideas! Joyfully he marches towards her office.
Miss Boss Lady (bobbed brown hair and red shoes) has a very cross expression and points at Mr Soggy Cornflake and says "I feel you are just too wet and floppy to be a member of my Leadership Team!”
Mr Soggy Cornflake is terrified by her demeanor. His body leaks droplets of milk and they form pools on her pristine office carpet. All he can say is “I… have leveraged the synergies in the Company. I’m good at blue sky thinking and I have always tried to broaden our skills matrix and…”.
Miss Boss Lady angrily points to the door and says to him "Get out, Milky Boy, you're fired and clean up this milk mess!".
A dejected Mr Soggy Cornflake leaves Cornflake international holding his office possessions in a cardboard box. As he walks away new thoughts race through his limited mind "We just need to pick the low hanging fruit and always look for the game-changer. I think we need to do a deep-dive and take a helicopter view of the strategic staircase. Our key resources just need to be fully incentivised".
