AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "The Hidden Camera"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1999, revolves around a hidden camera installed by Dilbert to capture the theft of office supplies. The thief is caught on camera, but instead of revealing the perpetrator's identity, Dilbert decides to make out a human form or perhaps a cat from the grainy picture.

Key Elements:

• Hidden Camera: Dilbert uses a hidden camera to capture the thief.
• Thief's Identity: The thief is caught on camera, but their identity remains unclear due to the grainy picture.
• Dilbert's Decision: Dilbert decides to make out a human form or perhaps a cat from the picture instead of revealing the thief's identity.
• Humor: The comic strip is humorous, as it pokes fun at the idea of using a hidden camera to catch a thief and the absurdity of making out a human form or cat from a grainy picture.
