AI Analysis

The title of this 'Dilbert' comic strip is "Irony is a Lie".

The comic strip depicts a man who has finished writing for the National Millard Bullrush "Quality" contest and is presenting his work to his boss. The boss is unimpressed, stating that it took two weeks of otherwise productive time and that everything but their address is a lie. The man is confused and asks if he knows what irony is, to which the boss responds by sending his shirts to a service, implying that he does not understand the concept of irony. The comic strip pokes fun at the idea that people often use the term "irony" loosely, without fully understanding its meaning.

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.
