Title: "Respect in the Lab"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1990, revolves around a conversation between a dog and a rat in a laboratory setting. The dog expresses its dissatisfaction with the lack of respect it receives from the lab staff, while the rat appears to be oblivious to the situation.

Key Points:

• The dog feels undervalued and unappreciated by the lab staff.
• The rat, on the other hand, seems to be valued for its contributions to the research.
• The comic strip highlights the contrast between the dog's perception of itself and the rat's perceived worth.

Themes:

• The importance of respect and recognition in the workplace
• The impact of perceived value on individual morale and motivation
• The potential for misunderstandings and miscommunications between different species (or individuals) in a shared environment.
