Images from "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders." : midjourney - https://old.reddit.com/r/midjourney/comments/1c11pb4/yes_the_planet_got_destroyed_but_for_a_beautiful/

Since Reddit hates deep linking to media, and therefore makes it hard for the Wayback Machine to archive them, here are the images from the above URL.

Bored. Felt cute. Ran my favorite cartoon through Ai.

The first is DALL-E, the next four through MJ with text prompt, and the last four include an image of the original cartoon in the prompt. I used Firefly to remove text and text balloons from the renders.

Some great images, especially the first two, but I don't think any of them top to original, which is posted at the end.

The prompt:

/imagine prompt:https://s.mj.run/zaJ7A2Demls man in tattered busines suit sitting in from of a campfire, talking to children, surrounded by apocalyptic wasteland. He says "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders." --ar 1:1

https://s.mj.run/zaJ7A2Demls has the a coarse version of the original cartoon image at https://www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a16995 (which wasn't dated) and https://condenaststore.com/featured/the-planet-got-destroyed-tom-toro.html (which was dated)
