Comic Strip Title: "Moist Towlettes"

Summary:

• The comic strip revolves around a salesperson's attempt to educate a customer on new technology.
• The customer's request for a class to learn about the technology is met with the salesperson's offer to teach him everything he knows.

Key Elements:

• The comic strip pokes fun at the salesperson's lack of understanding and the customer's skepticism.
• The use of absurd language and situations creates a humorous tone.
• The strip satirizes the common practice of salespeople trying to sell products without fully understanding their customers' needs.
