AI Analysis

The title of this comic strip is "Sub-Contracting to the Muppets."

The comic strip is divided into three panels.

• In the first panel, a woman is holding a dog on a leash and talking to two men, George Lucas and George Lucas.
• In the second panel, one of the men asks if the news on television is all faked by the special effects company.
• In the third panel, the man is sitting at a desk with a white creature, and the creature says, "I knew that."

The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of the situation, where a dog is being held on a leash by a woman, and the conversation between the men is about sub-contracting to the Muppets.

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.
