Sun Tricks Person Into Going Outside With Health Benefit Promises To Prank Them About Skin Cancer

This is a 4-panel dark humor webcomic. In panel 1, a cheerful cartoon sun at an open window tells a grumpy pink round humanoid character to come outside, and the character refuses by saying "no". In panel 2, the sun offers to give the character vitamin D, and the character responds hesitantly with "eh". In panel 3, the sun adds that going outside also provides serotonin, so the character agrees to come out saying "ok fine". In panel 4, the character steps outside, and the sun laughs and insults them saying "haha enjoy skin cancer bitch", prompting the character to react angrily yelling "you fucker". The joke plays on the common public health advice that sun exposure provides beneficial vitamin D and mood-boosting serotonin, while also carrying the known risk of skin cancer with unprotected overexposure, for a dark, unexpected punchline.
