AI Analysis

Title: "Marketing Department to Blame"

This comic strip, originally published in 1994, humorously portrays a conversation between a boss and an employee. The employee is tasked with presenting a project, but is uncertain about its progress due to underfunding and poor inertia.

Key Points:

• The employee is hesitant to take responsibility for the project's delay.
• The boss is skeptical of the employee's excuses and suggests that the marketing department may be to blame.
• The employee is reluctant to take action, citing a lack of information and planning for the next week.
• The comic strip pokes fun at the common phenomenon of employees passing the buck and avoiding accountability.
