AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Mobile Home Number"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1994, features a conversation between a character and a mouse. The character predicts that the world will end in the year 2000, but the mouse is more concerned about avoiding being assigned a mobile home number in the format "1,000,000" in the year 2000, as it prefers round numbers. The character's response is that the mouse is feeling anxiety, implying that the mouse's concerns are irrational. The comic strip pokes fun at the mouse's fear of the unknown and the human tendency to worry about things that may not be a problem.
