AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "FYI"

Summary:

The comic strip features a conversation between Alice and her boss, Scott. Alice sends an email to Scott, thanking him for his response to her previous email. However, Scott responds with a sarcastic comment, stating that he only sent the email as a "FYI" (For Your Information), implying that it was not a response to Alice's original email.

The conversation continues with Alice expressing her frustration at receiving an email that does not address her concerns, and Scott responding with a dismissive tone. The comic strip highlights the common phenomenon of receiving unnecessary or unhelpful emails, and the frustration that can come with it.
