AI Analysis

The title of this comic strip is "Prescription for Health".

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a character known for his sarcastic wit, interacting with his doctor. The conversation begins with the doctor's advice to ignore Dilbert's advice and exercise, which Dilbert ignores. The doctor then prescribes two packs of cigarettes per day, which Dilbert accepts without hesitation. The punchline is that Dilbert is in perfect health, which really annoys the doctor professionally. The comic strip pokes fun at the idea that some people may not take their health seriously and will do whatever they want, even if it goes against medical advice.
