AI Analysis

The comic strip is titled "Diplomatic Immunity".

Summary:

The comic strip depicts a humorous conversation between a king and a diplomat. The king, who is seeking a job as a diplomat, is asked why he wants the position. He responds that he wants to drive cars over people's lawns, fire automatic weapons in any direction, and throw Jell-O at politicians. The diplomat is shocked by the king's requests and asks how he could trust him. The king replies that he is insulted by the question, implying that his qualifications are self-evident. The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of diplomatic immunity and the absurdity of some political figures' actions.
