AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Late Again"

This comic strip, originally published in 1991, features the iconic character Dilbert, a bespectacled and balding office worker, lamenting his tardiness to a meeting.

Panel 1: Dilbert is seated at a conference table with his colleagues, all holding papers and appearing uninterested. He remarks, "I don't know why we even bother holding meetings on Friday afternoons..." This statement sets the tone for the rest of the strip, highlighting Dilbert's frustration with the meeting's purpose and timing.

Panel 2: Dilbert turns to his colleague and asks, "I mean, everybody is brain-dead by now. Is this really productive?" This question challenges the effectiveness of the meeting, implying that it may be a waste of time for all involved.

Panel 3: Dilbert's colleague responds with a nonchalant "Hmm... Productive? Hmm..." followed by Dilbert's own thought bubble, "I'm too late." This exchange reveals that Dilbert has arrived late to the meeting, further emphasizing his frustration with the situation.

Overall Summary: The comic strip pokes fun at the common phenomenon of feeling unproductive or unmotivated during meetings, particularly on Fridays. Dilbert's sarcastic comments and his own tardiness serve as a humorous commentary on the challenges of staying engaged in workplace gatherings.
