AI Analysis

Title: "The Staple Chase"

Summary:

The comic strip follows a conversation between Dilbert and his boss, where Dilbert is informed that he has been selected for a contest to determine which employee will be laid off. The boss explains that the first event is the "Staple Chase," where contestants must staple a large stack of papers. The winner will proceed to the next round, which is Zimbu. The boss thinks he has won the first round by winging him, but Dilbert points out that he has stapled all the papers, making him the actual winner. The comic strip pokes fun at office politics and the absurdity of corporate competitions.
