AI Analysis

The title of this comic strip is "Lunch Date".

This comic strip depicts a conversation between a man and a woman at a restaurant. The man asks if they are on a third date, to which the woman responds that they are not, but rather a vendor and client. The man then asks if they can meet during lunch, to which the woman agrees, but only if he pays for it. The man is hesitant, but the woman insists, saying that it's the only time they can meet and that he should make sale first and then kill the client. The man is shocked by her response and the woman continues to talk about the menu, seemingly unaware of the man's discomfort.

Overall, the comic strip humorously portrays a business meeting that has taken a strange turn, with the woman's aggressive sales tactics and the man's awkwardness creating an uncomfortable atmosphere.
