AI Analysis
The comic strip is titled "A Good Trainer Doesn't Have to Be a Subject Matter Expert."
The comic strip features a dog, a weasel, and a man in an office setting. The dog is looking for a new corporate trainer to help teach classes in stress reduction, conflict resolution, and teamwork. The weasel applies for the job, claiming that he'll burn in hell before he'll do the work himself and that a good trainer doesn't have to be a subject matter expert. The dog is impressed by the weasel's confidence and hires him as the corporate trainer. However, the weasel's lack of knowledge and expertise becomes apparent when he starts teaching the classes, leading to chaos and confusion among the students. The comic strip pokes fun at the idea that someone can be a good trainer without having the necessary knowledge or experience.
