AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Waste Elimination"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 2003, features Dilbert and his boss discussing the company's strategy. The boss announces that the company will eliminate waste, but Dilbert is skeptical, asking how an idea can be eliminated before it's even called a strategy. The boss responds by saying they'll miss him, implying that Dilbert's idea is being eliminated. The comic strip pokes fun at the common corporate practice of using buzzwords like "waste elimination" without actually understanding what they mean.
