AI Analysis

Title: "Solar Flares"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a white dog, sitting in front of a TV. The news is reporting on solar flares, and Dilbert is unimpressed, thinking it's another hot day on the sun, Bernie. The strip pokes fun at the idea that news anchors often sensationalize minor events, making them sound more significant than they actually are.

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.
