AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "College Years"

Summary:

The comic strip revolves around a conversation between a father and son. The father, who is also the son's boss, reveals that he hired his son to manage the technology development group. The son expresses his pride in his father's decision, but also admits to being almost positive he went to college.

The conversation takes an unexpected turn when the son asks his father where he went to college. The father responds by saying he hid in their attic for four years. This humorous exchange highlights the absurdity of the situation, as the father's claim is clearly not true.

Overall, the comic strip pokes fun at the idea of a father hiring his son and the son's lack of self-awareness. The punchline about the father hiding in the attic adds to the comedic effect, making for an entertaining and lighthearted read.
