Imagine you were a bonsai pot...

You're a tree! You have the potential to grow as tall as a building or even taller. Yet, you chill out in your small little pot, trying to look like a giant tree without actually accomplishing much at all. But not to worry, someone's taking care of you. They give you exactly what you need to live. They define you. Any little branch that's in the wrong place gets cropped away. You're not meant to grow tall and strong. They took that right away from you, but with it, also all the responsibility. Life is great as a bonsai pot.

That is, unless your caretaker looses interest in you.

Comic transcript

Panel 1:
Parrot is giving a presentation.
P: Welcome to my talk. Over the past weeks, I’ve analyzed the recent events and I think I got a good grasp on what that beautiful parrot did to Rasta-Pigeon.
Panel 2:
P: I’ve categorized their recent social media posts and found that shortly after I rejected them, their whole concept shifted towards content that would be interesting to people like Rasta-Pigeon.
Panel 3:
P: It didn’t take long for the algorithm to make Rasta-Pigeon one of their followers. They then started making adverts for BLT bubble gum. The BLT Company didn’t even want to work with them, at first. They agreed to do this brand deal under outrageously bad conditions.
Panel 4:
P: They needed to arrange an “accidental” meeting with Rasta-Pigeon, so they made friends with their dealer ... uhh ... dealers? Anyways, the tits said that this parrot jumped out of a bush, right after Rasta-Pigeon bought some drugs. The parrot was super sweet and offered all of them some BLT bubble gum!
Panel 5:
P: They proceeded to hang out at the tits’ place. It didn’t take long until they met Rasta-Pigeon there and, obviously, offered them BLT bubble gum!
Panel 6:
P: Now comes the insane part! They needed to get the tits out of the house, so they anonymously called the cops on them! I had to hack into the police database to validate this. They hid in the closet with Rasta-Pigeon. A very narrow closet.
Panel 7:
P: When all this tension was lifted, nobody, not even a stoner like Rasta-Pigeon could have resisted to seize that moment. They set this whole thing up. Isn’t that totally crazy?
Panel 8:
Tucan't is revealed as the audience of the talk.
T: An admirably devilish plan, indeed! But I don’t understand why you’re telling me all of this?
P: I didn’t know who else to talk to. I needed to get this out there. It makes my leaves wilt.
Panel 9:
T: That’s an ... odd ... expression.
P: Yeah, somehow, I feel like a bonsai pot.
T: Do you think you could introduce me to that parrot you were talking about?
P: This was a mistake.
