AI Analysis

Title: "Liftoff"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1998, depicts a humorous scene where a group of engineers are preparing to launch a project. The first panel shows the engineers in a meeting room, with one engineer saying, "Initiate launch sequence." The second panel reveals that the project has liftoff, but it quickly becomes apparent that something has gone wrong. The third panel shows the project failing, with the engineer saying, "I keep waiting for this to seem like a bad idea."

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of launching a project without proper planning or consideration, and the consequences that can result from such a decision. It highlights the importance of careful planning and consideration before embarking on a new project.
