Comic Strip Title: "The Unfortunate Incident"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1989, revolves around the character Dan Quayle, who is depicted as the Vice President of the United States. The story unfolds in three panels:

• Panel 1: Dan Quayle is shown sitting on a rock, with his dog by his side. He is holding a pipe and appears to be engaged in a conversation.
• Panel 2: The scene shifts to show Dan Quayle's pants being put on one leg at a time. This implies that he is experiencing some sort of physical limitation or disability.
• Panel 3: The final panel reveals that Dan Quayle has fallen asleep in bed, with his pants still on one leg. His wife is shown standing beside him, looking concerned and frustrated.

Key Themes:

• The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of a high-ranking government official struggling with everyday tasks due to physical limitations.
• The humor is derived from the unexpected twist on the typical portrayal of politicians as powerful and capable individuals.
• The strip also touches on the theme of marriage and relationships, as the wife's reaction to her husband's predicament adds a layer of comedic relief to the situation.
