AI Analysis

Title: "Anger and Denial"

Summary:

The comic strip revolves around a job interview where the applicant is asked to provide a letter of reference. The applicant's response, "No problem," is met with skepticism by the interviewer, who suspects the applicant is on drugs due to his unusual behavior. The applicant denies the allegations, claiming he is prone to anger and denial, which is perceived as a red flag by the interviewer. The conversation takes an unexpected turn when the applicant asks if the interviewer is prone to anger and denial, prompting the interviewer to end the interview abruptly. The comic strip pokes fun at the absurdity of the situation and the interviewer's overreaction.
