AI Analysis

The comic strip, originally published in 1993, is titled "I Already Thought of That One." It features a conversation between two office workers, with one expressing frustration at the other's idea and claiming to have already thought of it. The humor lies in the absurdity of the situation and the use of a stereotypical corporate setting. The comic strip pokes fun at the common phenomenon of people feeling like they've already heard or thought of an idea, and the tendency to dismiss others' contributions.

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.
