AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Quality of Work"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled engineer, and his boss, a balding man with a receding hairline, wearing a white shirt and red tie. The scene unfolds as follows:

• Dilbert introduces himself to the new senior vice president, Wendell "Wen-Dull," who has recently earned an MBA from Stanford.
• The boss, impressed by Wen-Dull's education, asks him to "lick the tar off my Porsche" to demonstrate the quality of his work.
• Dilbert is perplexed by this request and points out that Wen-Dull's work is of poor quality, despite his impressive education.

The comic strip humorously highlights the disconnect between academic achievement and real-world competence, poking fun at the idea that a high-level degree automatically guarantees success.
