AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Flogging Dead Horses"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1991, features a conversation between two men in a workplace setting. The first man remarks on the upcoming year, stating that it will be another year of "flogging dead horses." The second man responds by expressing his frustration with the internal bureaucracy, which he believes is hindering progress and preventing them from achieving their goals.

The conversation takes a humorous turn when the first man suggests that they should "muddle through our internal bureaucracy, gouge our customers, and keep getting our tiny paychecks." The second man, however, is not amused and responds with a sarcastic comment about Wilson's attitude, implying that he is not taking the situation seriously.

Overall, the comic strip pokes fun at the bureaucratic red tape and the challenges of working in a corporate environment. It highlights the frustrations and challenges that many people face in their daily work lives, and the humor is derived from the relatable situations and witty dialogue.
