AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "The Perfect Job"

Summary:

• The comic strip follows the conversation between two employees in a bureaucratic setting.
• One employee is new to the office, while the other has been working there for decades.
• The new employee asks if anyone has seen him before, and the older employee responds that he's been hiding in the bureaucracy since the 1950s.
• The older employee then expresses his desire to find the perfect job, despite being in a position that has remained unchanged for decades.
• The comic strip humorously highlights the monotony and stagnation of working in a bureaucratic environment.
