AI Analysis

The title of this 'Dilbert' comic strip is 'Ratbert the Consultant'.

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a character known for his sarcastic and often humorous take on office life, and Ratbert, a yellow rat who is portrayed as a consultant. The scene begins with Ratbert, dressed in a suit and tie, addressing Dilbert as "our newest partner." Ratbert explains that he will be assigning Dilbert the least desirable tasks, which Dilbert finds unacceptable. In response, Dilbert uses a cannon to launch Ratbert into a client's site, where he is expected to monitor progress. The client, however, is more interested in the window than the rat, and Ratbert is left dangling in mid-air. The comic strip pokes fun at the corporate world and the often absurd nature of business interactions.
