AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Cardboard Computers"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a distinctive appearance, sitting at a desk. He is engaged in a conversation with a sign that reads "ELEPHANT ALK" in red letters.

• Scene 1: Dilbert is shown holding a piece of paper and saying, "I don't see your reservation."
• Scene 2: The sign responds, "Maybe it's because all of our computers are cardboard props that we stole from a furniture store."
• Scene 3: Dilbert asks, "For security purposes, would you care to frisk me?"
• Scene 4: The sign replies, "Yes."

The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of the situation, poking fun at the idea of using cardboard props as computers and the ridiculousness of the sign's response.
