AI Analysis

Title: "The Spare Cubicles Conundrum"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1996, revolves around a company's decision to utilize spare cubicles to house convicts. The conversation begins with the statement, "Effective immediately, we will no longer use our spare cubicles to house convicts." However, the employees are skeptical and question the reasoning behind this decision, citing that it is because the prisoners complained.

As the conversation progresses, one employee expresses concern about what the company plans to do with the spare cubicles now that they are no longer being used to house convicts. The punchline of the comic strip is revealed when the employee walks into a room filled with pigs, implying that the company has decided to use the spare cubicles to house the pigs instead.

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of a company making seemingly irrational decisions and the absurdity of using spare cubicles to house animals. It also highlights the employees' skepticism and curiosity about the company's plans, which adds to the humor and satire of the comic strip.
