Comic Strip Title: "Calisthenics"

Summary:

The comic strip depicts a group of businessmen on a business trip to Japan. One of them shares that Japanese workers dress as their favorite animals to boost productivity, which the others find amusing. The punchline comes when they ask what animal the Japanese workers dress as, and the response is "calisthenics," a type of exercise. The humor lies in the unexpected twist on the idea of dressing up as animals for productivity.
