WOW! YOU HAVE THREE MASTERS DEGREES AND A PHD!

YES, IT'S ALL VERY IMPRESSIVE, BUT INTERESTINGLY, I HAVE NO COMMON SENSE WHATSOEVER.

THAT'S NOT THE SORT OF THING YOU SHOULD SAY DURING A JOB INTERVIEW.

I DON'T SEE WHY NOT.

AI Analysis

Title: "Impressive, But Meaningless"

Summary:

The comic strip features a job interview scene where the interviewer is impressed by the candidate's three master's degrees and a PhD, but is skeptical about their relevance to the job. The candidate explains that they have no common sense whatsoever, which makes their impressive academic credentials seem meaningless. The interviewer is left puzzled, unsure of what to make of the candidate's statement. The comic strip pokes fun at the idea that academic credentials alone are not enough to guarantee success in a job, and that sometimes, common sense and practical experience are just as important.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
