AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Flicking Fingers"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1994, features Dilbert and his coworkers in a humorous scenario. The story begins with their boss, Ted, announcing that they will all receive the same pay, regardless of their performance. In response, the employees decide to "flick their fingers" in celebration, a gesture that is not linked to their pay.

As the employees engage in this unusual display, their boss remains oblivious to the irony of their actions. The comic strip pokes fun at the absurdity of corporate culture and the sometimes illogical nature of workplace decisions.
