AI Analysis

The comic strip is titled "Insensitive Humans" and features a conversation between Dilbert and his coworker.

Panel 1: Dilbert is sitting at his desk, looking at a computer screen. His coworker approaches him and says, "You know what really grips my wagger?!" Dilbert responds with a confused expression, "What's that supposed to mean?"

Panel 2: The coworker continues, "Insensitive humans who say things like 'she's a real dog' or 'he's in the dog house' or 'it's a dog's life.'" Dilbert looks puzzled, unsure of what his coworker is trying to say.

Panel 3: The coworker concludes, "Sounds like a pet peeve." Dilbert nods in understanding, and the two share a laugh.

Summary: The comic strip humorously highlights the annoyance people feel when others use dog-related idioms inappropriately. The coworker's clever wordplay and Dilbert's confusion create a lighthearted and entertaining exchange.
