AI Analysis

The title of this comic strip is "Performance Appraisal".

This comic strip depicts a humorous scene where an employee is being evaluated by their boss. The boss asks the employee if they got to pick the bug, and the employee responds that they didn't have much luck with the other management techniques, so they're kind of winging it now. The boss then asks how the evaluation went, and the employee replies that they got a bun. The boss is pleased with this outcome, as the employee is never happy. The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of performance appraisals and the often arbitrary nature of management decisions.
