Comic Strip Title: "Unfair Advantage"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1992, features a humorous exchange between an employee and their boss. The employee is asked to wear a "Kick Me" sign as part of a program to promote humor in the workplace. However, the employee is concerned that this will give them an unfair advantage over others, as they will be taking a lighthearted approach to a potentially serious situation.

The employee is skeptical, but ultimately decides to participate in the program.
