Comic Strip Title: "On the Equator"
Summary:
This 'Dilbert' comic strip, originally published in 1991, revolves around a humorous conversation between Dilbert and his dog, Dogbert, about the equator. The conversation begins with Dilbert asking Dogbert what happens when you're north of the equator and water swirls clockwise down the drain. Dogbert responds by saying that south of the equator, it swirls counter-clockwise.
Dilbert then asks what happens right on the equator, to which Dogbert replies, "What's it do right on the equator?" The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Juan, who is sitting at a counter, chimes in, saying, "Juan, it's just sitting there again!"
The comic strip pokes fun at the idea that the equator is a unique geographical feature that affects the direction of water swirls in drains. The punchline about Juan adds a layer of absurdity to the conversation, leaving the reader to wonder what Juan's role is in this scenario. Overall, the comic strip uses humor to highlight the quirks of everyday life and the unexpected ways in which people interact with each other.
