AI Analysis

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled, balding man with a dark blue shirt and green pants, and a blonde woman with a yellow shirt and green pants.

Panel 1: Dilbert says, "I can tell that you like me because you don't quite know what to do with your hands." The blonde woman responds, "To test my hypothesis, I will hold this hand and observe the change."

Panel 2: Dilbert holds out his hand, and the blonde woman takes it. She says, "The 'control' hand remains limp and clammy. Its twin loses control. Hypothesis confirmed."

Panel 3: Dilbert's hand is now waving wildly, with the words "Thupa Thupa Thupa" written above it.

Summary: The comic strip is a humorous take on the scientific method, with Dilbert using his hand as a control group to test the blonde woman's hypothesis about her attraction to him. The punchline is that the experiment is a success, but the outcome is unexpected and absurd.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
