AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Autographs for Sale"

Summary:

The comic strip features a man selling autographed softballs, including one signed by Martin Luther, leader of the Protestant Reformation. The man is disappointed to find that the autograph is not from Martin Luther King Jr., as he had hoped. He returns the softball, stating that he wants something signed by Martin Luther King Jr. and will wait ten minutes for it to be returned. The comic strip humorously highlights the confusion between Martin Luther and Martin Luther King Jr., two historical figures with different significance.
