AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "HR's Safety Rule"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a golf hat, engaging in a conversation with Wally, another bespectacled man wearing a golf hat. The dialogue is as follows:

• Dilbert: "What's the hat for, Wally?"
• Wally: "It's a new safety rule. I think it's stupid."
• Dilbert: "The e-mail from human resources said all short employees must wear these to improve visibility while in the cubicle aisles."

In the second panel, Dilbert is shown wearing the golf hat and holding a red flag, while Wally looks on skeptically.

In the third panel, HR is depicted standing outside an office door, addressing Dilbert: "HR should change their password once in a while."

Dilbert responds: "I'll bet we can make him wear aluminum foil pants."

The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of HR's safety rule and the creative ways in which employees might find to circumvent it.
