AI Analysis

The comic strip is titled "The Hole" and features Dilbert, a bespectacled cat, and his boss, a man in a suit. The boss announces that he has developed a policy to handle employees who complain, which involves creating a hole and tricking them into getting in it, then covering them with sand.
