AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Dogbert's Body Language Update"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1994, features Dogbert attempting to teach employees about body language. However, his methods are met with resistance and chaos. The employees are instructed to:

• Smash a watch with their daily planner
• Babble for a minute
• Signal surrender to the babble

Despite Dogbert's efforts, the employees fail to understand the concept of body language, and the meeting descends into chaos. The strip pokes fun at the idea of corporate training and the challenges of communicating effectively in a business setting.
