AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "E-Mail Goal"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a receding hairline, sitting at a conference table with his colleagues. The scene unfolds as follows:

• The first panel shows the boss announcing the division's goals for the next year, which include improving communication.
• In the second panel, the boss explains that they won't be able to read the goals in e-mail, implying that they are too long or complicated.
• The third panel reveals that the goal is actually to improve communication, but the boss is too embarrassed to admit it.

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of setting unrealistic goals and the challenges of effective communication in a corporate setting.

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.
