AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "The Perfect Crime"

Summary:

The comic strip features a woman, dressed in 18th-century attire, sitting at a computer and typing on a typewriter. She is engaged in a conversation with a man, also dressed in 18th-century attire, who is seated across from her.

Key Elements:

• The woman is using company resources to email her resume to a headhunter.
• The man responds, "It's the perfect crime."
• The woman exclaims, "I've got mail!"

Humor:

The comic strip relies on wordplay and absurdity to create humor. The use of 18th-century attire adds to the comedic effect, as it is an unexpected and anachronistic element in a modern office setting. The punchline, "I've got mail!", is a clever play on words, as it references both the woman's email and the idea that she has committed the "perfect crime" of using company resources for personal gain.
