AI Analysis

The comic strip is titled "Ozone Hole" and features Dilbert, a bespectacled, balding man, sitting at his desk with a computer monitor in front of him.

Panel 1: The first panel shows Dilbert's boss, a large, imposing figure with a menacing expression, standing over him. The boss says, "My program predicts that tiny holes in the ozone could lead to...". Dilbert looks up at him with a mixture of fear and confusion.

Panel 2: The second panel depicts a dramatic explosion, with the words "FLASH!" written above it. The explosion is accompanied by the sound effects "ZAP ZAP ZAP", indicating a sudden and intense event.

Panel 3: In the third panel, Dilbert is shown sitting at his desk, looking worried and concerned. He says, "Now we'll never know... but you're getting warmer." The background of the panel is pink, and there are several characters visible, including a small, cartoonish figure of the Earth with a thermometer stuck in it.

Overall, the comic strip appears to be a humorous commentary on the potential consequences of climate change, with Dilbert's boss representing the unknown and unpredictable nature of the issue. The use of a dramatic explosion and sound effects adds to the comedic effect, while the worried expression on Dilbert's face conveys the seriousness of the situation.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
