AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "The Old Way"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a distinctive hairdo, sitting at his desk, reminiscing about his childhood. He recounts throwing spitballs at girls in school, which they surprisingly enjoyed. Dilbert now finds himself in a similar situation, having thrown a spitball at a woman he likes, only to be met with a positive reaction. The strip humorously explores the idea that some things, like throwing spitballs, may be more effective than expected, even in modern dating.
