Official transcript

Dilbert sits at a table with two Elbonians. One Elbonian says, "We left-handed Elbonians have been persecuted for centuries. We must crush the righties!"

Dilbert asks, "Don't you see that it's only an arbitrary distinction? Isn't it obvious that people are the same no matter what hand they favor?"

The Elbonian replies, "No, that isn't obvious to us at all."

Dilbert waves his right hand and says, "Geez, you lefties are thick. I'm glad I'M normal."

AI Analysis

Title: "Left-Handed Elbonians"

Summary:

This 'Dilbert' comic strip revolves around a group of left-handed Elbonians who are being persecuted for centuries. The conversation begins with one of the Elbonians asking if it's an arbitrary distinction to favor right-handed people, and another responds that it's not obvious to them at all. A third Elbonian chimes in, saying they're normal, and the conversation concludes with the first Elbonian agreeing that they're normal.

The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of societal norms and the importance of embracing individual differences. It pokes fun at the idea that being left-handed is somehow inferior or less desirable, and instead celebrates the uniqueness of the Elbonians' handedness. The strip's lighthearted tone and clever dialogue make it an entertaining and thought-provoking commentary on the human experience.
