AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Jury Duty"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1983, features Dilbert, a bespectacled character, sitting at a table with a judge and jury. The conversation unfolds as follows:

• Dilbert: "I bet I've gone to jail more than the average law-abiding citizen."
• Judge: "I plan to defend you by proving your victim was a temp worker."
• Dilbert: "It's legal to kill a temp? Really?"
• Judge: "Now all we need is a jury of your 'peers'."

The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of the legal system, poking fun at the idea of a jury consisting of one's peers. The punchline relies on the unexpected twist of the judge's defense strategy, which is both surprising and amusing. The comic strip's lighthearted tone and clever wordplay make it an entertaining read.
