AI Analysis
Comic Strip Title: "Hunting Trophies"
Summary:
The comic strip revolves around a conversation between Uncle Ned and Dilbert, where Uncle Ned inquires about Dilbert's hunting trophies after dinner. Dilbert reveals that he bagged a bear at the zoo, which is illegal, and has been collecting doves from his neighbors' yards. The conversation escalates as Dilbert's boss, the Pointy-Haired Boss, intervenes, asking about the "hall-o-postal employees." The boss then implements a new rule, requiring employees to find hobbies before eating their pot roast. The comic strip humorously portrays the absurdity of the situation and the boss's illogical decision-making.
