AI Analysis

Title: "Weightless Nerd"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled engineer, who is chosen for the next space shuttle mission. He is surprised by the announcement and asks why he was selected. The response is that they are probably assembling the leaders from different fields. In the next panel, Dilbert is shown standing in front of a NASA poster, which reads "Test" and features a man in a space suit being launched into space. The caption above the poster reads, "In our next flight, we will study the effects of weightlessness on nerds..." The comic strip humorously highlights the stereotype that nerds are awkward and socially inept, and that being in space would only exacerbate these traits.
