AI Analysis

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a distinctive hairstyle, sitting at his desk with a piece of paper in his hand. The strip is divided into three panels, each with a caption that reads:

• "I didn't remember being abducted by aliens until you hypnotized me. But now I remember they looked like 'E.T.'"
• "I remember being in a dark room with rows of seats. They fed us a popcorn-like substance. My feet were stuck to the floor."
• "I recall being disgusted that they charged me six dollars to enter the ship. That's why you suppressed the memory."

The comic strip humorously explores the idea of alien abduction and the subsequent hypnosis to erase the memory of the event. The punchline, where Dilbert recalls being charged six dollars to enter the ship, adds a relatable and comedic touch to the situation.

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.
