Read the cartoon's script
A dimly lit server room with rows of empty racks, cables hanging loose, and a single blinking server in the corner labeled 'Yandex,' with a security guard standing guard in the background, looking bored and confused.
Caption: After the attack, the only thing keeping the bots busy is the guard's yawn.

Editor's note
Who knew that a bot's 9-to-5 job could be so precarious? With Yandex's bot traffic taking a nosedive after a data center attack, it's clear that even the digital workforce needs a secure commute to the office.

Panel 1
A small, cluttered office with a desktop computer, a stack of papers, and a cup of coffee. A bespectacled programmer, Alex, is hunched over the computer, looking tired and frustrated. Alex (muttering)
Alex: Another day, another bug. But this time it’s a bot traffic one.
Panel 2
The same office, but now the computer screen shows a graph with a sharp decline. Alex looks more stressed, rubbing his temples. Alex (to himself)
Alex: 99% down? How do you even get 1% of bot traffic?
Panel 3
The office, but now there’s a cardboard cutout of a bot behind Alex, looking disheveled and confused. Alex turns to face the bot, a mix of relief and disbelief on his face.
Alex: Well, at least the bots are taking the day off. Maybe they’re on strike?
Highlight: The absurdity that the bots, which are supposed to be relentless, are actually showing human-like behavior by taking a break.
