AI Analysis

Title: "Knock-Knock"

Summary:

The comic strip features a conversation between two men, with one man asking the other, "Knock-Knock." The second man responds, "Who's there?" and the first man says, "Not you anymore." The second man is perplexed, asking, "What do you mean?" The first man explains that the boss has decided to use humor in the workplace, but humor has lost its effectiveness due to the frequent trimming of the workforce. The second man is unsure of what to say, and the conversation ends abruptly.

Key Points:

• The comic strip pokes fun at the idea that humor can be used to lighten the mood in the workplace.
• The use of humor is rendered ineffective due to the constant changes in the workforce.
• The conversation between the two men highlights the absurdity of the situation.
