AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Ideal Career"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1996, features a mouse as the main character. The mouse is depicted as a consultant who earns $150 per hour, even when unproductive. However, the mouse's furry little behind wiggles for ten seconds, earning 42 cents. The mouse's ideal career is to count its own wiggling, which it believes is never like this. The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of the mouse's situation and its unrealistic expectations.
