AI Analysis

Title: "Firing is Expensive"

Summary:

The comic strip features a conversation between two men, Donald and another man, in an office setting. Donald explains that firing is expensive, but he has a policy to make his job unpleasant for those who quit. The other man asks about a project involving coyotes, and Donald responds that it's been ongoing for two years and he's vested in it. The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of a company having a policy to make employees' jobs unpleasant in order to prevent them from quitting, while also highlighting the absurdity of investing time and resources into a project that may not be successful.
