AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "The Slogan"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1992, depicts a group of office workers gathered around a man who is introducing a new slogan. The slogan, "We are quality," is met with skepticism and apathy by the workers, who are more concerned with their working conditions than the company's slogan.

Key Panels:

• A group of office workers stand around a man, who is introducing the new slogan.
• The workers look unimpressed, with one worker responding, "It's working!"
• The man is shown looking pleased with himself, while the workers continue to work in the background.

Humor and Commentary:

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea that a simple slogan can inspire employees to work harder, when in reality, they may be more motivated by better working conditions and fair pay. The humor lies in the contrast between the man's enthusiasm for the slogan and the workers' lack of interest. The comic strip also comments on the absurdity of corporate culture and the ways in which companies try to motivate their employees through empty slogans.
