AI Analysis
Comic Strip Title: "Job Title"
Summary:
The comic strip features Dilbert, a character known for his sarcastic comments on office life, in a conversation with his boss. The boss asks Dilbert to document job processes to satisfy ISO 9000 requirements, which Dilbert finds pointless and tries to avoid. He suggests wrapping himself in relevant buzzwords to achieve importance without adding value. The boss responds by asking for Dilbert's job title, to which Dilbert replies, "Director of ISO 9000 Quality Process Design." The comic strip pokes fun at the absurdity of corporate jargon and the tendency to prioritize appearance over substance.
