AI Analysis

Title: "Burying the Survivors"

Summary:

The comic strip revolves around a company's response to an accident involving an employee. The boss, Dilbert, instructs his employees to ask questions at meetings, but to make them easy so as not to embarrass him. This directive is followed by a meeting where an employee asks if they should bury the survivors of the accident, prompting Dilbert to respond, "I usually put them in the trunk." The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of corporate culture and the tendency of bosses to prioritize their own image over the well-being of their employees.
