AI Analysis
Comic Strip Title: "Calendar Software"
Summary:
The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled character, sitting at a conference table with his coworkers. The conversation begins when Asok, an intern, proudly announces that he has installed calendar software on the network. However, his coworkers are unimpressed, and one of them sarcastically remarks that they can now see everyone's schedule and easily set up meetings.
Dilbert then suggests that they use the software to apply cubicle justice, implying that they should use the calendar to schedule meetings and appointments for their coworkers, rather than for legitimate work purposes. The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of using technology to micromanage and control others, and the absurdity of using calendar software for non-work-related activities.
