About the comic

Brilliant.
Confidently
clueless.

Sorry, Tomorrow follows Ahead AI, an AI transformation agency that is always slightly ahead of the plan.

Everyone is genuinely excellent at something and dangerously wrong about something adjacent to it. The satire targets hype, incentives, process theater, and misplaced certainty—not the people caught underneath them.

Internal status: insight identified. Ownership pending.
