Summary:

• The comic strip features Juan Delegator, who is known for assigning tasks to others.
• A colleague asks Juan if he has any more assignments, and Juan responds by giving him all his work to do.
• The colleague is surprised and asks if he has learned his lesson, implying that he has been overwhelmed by Juan's constant delegations in the past.
• Juan's response, "Give all work to Alice," suggests that he is passing the buck to someone else, rather than taking responsibility for his own tasks.
• The comic strip pokes fun at the common office phenomenon of delegation and the tendency for managers to avoid taking on tasks themselves.
