AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Work Has Been Great"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a character known for his sarcastic and humorous take on workplace life. In this strip, Dilbert is seen discussing his recent survival of a plane crash with his boss. The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Dilbert reveals that he was the only survivor because he was lucky to be on a flight that had a hundred nuns onboard.

The boss responds by asking if Dilbert was saved by prayer, to which Dilbert replies, "No, padding. They don't do a lot of aerobics at the nunnery." This response is met with confusion and amusement from the boss, who is clearly unaware of the joke.

Overall, the comic strip pokes fun at the idea of prayer being the reason for Dilbert's survival, and instead attributes it to the fact that nuns do not engage in aerobics, which would have made the plane crash more likely. The strip's humor lies in its clever wordplay and unexpected twist on the typical "miracle" scenario.
