AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Radiation and Broccoli"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled character, in a conversation with his dog Dogbert. The conversation begins with Dilbert's lab assistant asking him not to get too close to his lab, as he is using radiation to mutate new species of vegetables. Dilbert responds that it isn't dangerous, and the assistant asks if the broccoli has asked him the same question. Dilbert replies, "Funny, the broccoli asked me the same question." The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of the situation, with Dilbert's nonchalant attitude towards the potential risks of radiation and the unexpected question from the broccoli.
