AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Reason for Leaving"

Summary:

The comic strip features a job interview where the interviewer asks the candidate to explain why they left their previous job. The candidate responds with a humorous and unexpected reason: "You fired me yesterday for non-business use of the internet." The interviewer is taken aback, but the candidate continues, "Crime doesn't pay," and then reveals that they are actually being interviewed for a position at the police department. The punchline is that the candidate is trying to get a job as a police officer, despite being fired from their previous job for using the internet for non-business purposes. The humor comes from the unexpected twist and the candidate's clever response.
