AI Analysis

Title: "Outsourcing: A Personal Perspective"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1994, presents a humorous take on the concept of outsourcing. The story revolves around a consultant who is tasked with writing a report on why jobs shouldn't be outsourced to consultants. However, the consultant's personal experience with being outsourced to himself leads to a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the illogical nature of outsourcing.

Key Points:

• A consultant is hired to write a report on why jobs shouldn't be outsourced to consultants.
• The consultant is initially enthusiastic about the task but becomes frustrated when they realize they are being asked to compare themselves to themselves.
• The consultant ponders the absurdity of outsourcing, stating that it is illogical and prideful.
• The comic strip uses humor to highlight the paradoxical nature of outsourcing, where individuals are often asked to evaluate themselves in a way that is both self-contradictory and prideful.
