AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Employee of the Month"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a white-collar worker, being recognized as the "Employee of the Month" by his boss. However, the recognition comes with a twist:

• Dilbert is required to work 24 hours a day.
• He is also asked to put in special recognition for his good work.
• The strip humorously highlights the absurdity of corporate expectations and the dehumanizing effects of modern work culture.
