AI Analysis

The comic strip is titled "Death Card Design" and features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a balding head, sitting at his desk with his dog Dogbert. The conversation begins with a client asking Dilbert to design a line of cards for death occasions, to which Dilbert responds by saying he knows how sometimes you can't make it to the funeral, so you want to send a card instead. The client then asks if the card is too sentimental, to which Dilbert replies, "I'm sorry you're dead." The punchline of the joke is that the client is dead, and Dilbert's response is a play on words, as he is apologizing for the client's passing rather than the sentimentality of the card.

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.
