AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Stupid Questions"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a distinctive appearance, and Dogbert, his dog. The scene unfolds as follows:

• Dilbert asks Dogbert if he has a stupid question.
• Dogbert responds affirmatively, stating that there are no stupid questions.
• Dilbert then poses a series of seemingly nonsensical questions, including "If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask?" and "Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?"
• Dogbert's responses become increasingly absurd, culminating in the statement "Now there's a stupid question."
• The exchange concludes with Dogbert asking Dilbert if he is going to ask him something, prompting Dilbert to pose yet another question, "See... now there's a stupid question."

The comic strip humorously explores the concept of stupid questions and the nature of intelligence.
