AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Brainwashing Customers"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1998, features a conversation between a consultant and a client. The consultant advises the client to "brainwash" their customers to prefer their brand for no reason. The client is skeptical, but the consultant insists that this is the long-term goal. The client asks how they would achieve this, and the consultant responds with a brain-stem joke, saying "Hello-o-o, Brain Stem." The client is confused, but the consultant explains that they would send the product to the customer every time they see their advertisements. The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of manipulating customers into preferring a brand without a logical reason.
