AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Darwin's Dilemma"

Summary:

• The comic strip revolves around Darwin, a character who is puzzled by the concept of fins.
• Darwin's confusion stems from the fact that humans do not have fins, despite being closely related to fish.
• This paradox leads Darwin to question the field of human aerodynamics, as it seems to be "totally neglected."
• The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of the situation, with Darwin's deadpan delivery adding to the comedic effect.
