MidJourney Prompt with inputs from ChatGPT
Illustrate a humorous scene in an IT office environment where a quirky, newly joined employee is examining his payslip with a magnifying glass. Beside him stands Diggz, a witty sidekick with a mischievous smirk. Ensure both characters have exaggerated and comical features to emphasize the humor. The background should hint at a modern tech office, with computers, desks, and perhaps a whiteboard with scribbles related to 'Learning Opportunities'. Avoid including any specific text or labels in the scene. --ar 16:9
