AI Analysis

Title: "Jury Duty"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a distinctive hairstyle, standing in front of a mailbox. He is holding a piece of paper and exclaiming, "Oh, carp!" as he reads the contents. The strip then cuts to a scene where Dilbert is in a courtroom, stating, "I've been called for jury duty. Me, too." A dog, who is also on the jury, responds, "Dogs can't do jury duty. How did they get your name?" Dilbert explains that he has been betrayed by Ed McMahon, implying that he was mistakenly selected for the jury due to a mix-up with his name. The strip ends with the dog asking, "I've been betrayed by Ed McMahon." The humor in the strip comes from the unexpected twist of a dog being on a jury and the absurdity of the situation.
