AI Analysis

Title: "A New Motherboard"

Summary:

This comic strip, originally published in 1994, revolves around a humorous exchange between an employee and his boss in a corporate setting. The employee requests a computer upgrade, but the boss's response is unexpected and absurd. He suggests replacing the computer with a cardboard box that resembles a computer, complete with a cardboard "motherboard" and desk.

The employee is perplexed by this suggestion, pointing out that a cardboard box is not a suitable replacement for a computer. The boss remains adamant, insisting that the cardboard box is a viable solution. The strip pokes fun at the often-inefficient and illogical nature of corporate bureaucracy, highlighting the disconnect between the employee's practical needs and the boss's bizarre solution.
