Image text: Hey, let go! We were all thinking it! Someone had to speak truth to power!

This comic is a parody of the movie/documentary by filmmaker Michael Moore called "Roger and Me" in which he detailed the problems that General Motors created in his hometown of Flint, Michigan by moving the manufacturing to Mexico.  Roger is reference to General Motors CEO Roger Smith.

Stephen Odell is the CEO of Volvo, so the parody becomes "Stephen and Me".

The image text in this case is a continuation of the comic and what the filmmaker with the beret would say when he was being taken by security.
