AI Analysis
The comic strip is titled "Premeeting Premeeting".
Summary:
The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with black hair, in various scenarios. The first panel shows Dilbert preparing for a meeting, only to discover that the meeting is actually a premeeting to prepare for another meeting. In the second panel, Dilbert is asked if he thinks it's safe to jump right into the premeeting without planning it. He responds that he's not sure, but the person asking the question thinks he's funny but not funny enough. The third panel shows Dilbert at the premeeting, where he is surrounded by other characters who are also preparing for the meeting. The fourth panel shows Dilbert looking confused and frustrated, with the caption "You think you're funny, but you're not." The final panel shows Dilbert walking away from the premeeting, looking dejected and disappointed. The comic strip pokes fun at the absurdity of corporate meetings and the unnecessary bureaucracy that can come with them.
