AI Analysis

Title: "Revenue Figures"

Summary:

The comic strip revolves around a conversation between a VP and a woman, likely an employee, in an office setting. The woman is asked to present revenue figures, but she is unsure of the correct answer. The VP becomes frustrated and demands that she provide a number, even if it's incorrect. The woman eventually gives a random number, which the VP accepts without question.

Key Points:

• The woman is unsure of the correct revenue figures.
• The VP demands a number, even if it's incorrect.
• The woman provides a random number, which the VP accepts.
• The comic strip highlights the absurdity of the situation and the lack of accountability in the workplace.
