AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "The Real Plan"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1998, features a scene where a group of employees are gathered around a table, looking at a presentation slide. The slide reads, "REAL PLAN" with three dots underneath, implying that there is more to come.

The boss, standing at the front of the room, proudly declares, "Good, because the REAL PLAN is the OPPOSITE of what I just showed you." This statement is met with shock and confusion from the employees, who exclaim, "WE HATE YOUR PLAN!!!" and "WHO WANTS A NICE WORM?"

The boss then holds up a worm and says, "This is the REAL PLAN." The employees are horrified, and one of them asks, "What's the point of having a plan if it's just going to be a worm?"

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of having a "real plan" and the absurdity of using a worm as a symbol of success. It highlights the disconnect between what the boss claims to be the "real plan" and the actual outcome, which is a worm. The comic strip uses humor to comment on the flaws in the boss's approach to planning and decision-making.
