AI Analysis

Title: "The Intern's Quest"

Summary:

The comic strip follows an intern's attempt to find the source of an air duct. The conversation unfolds as follows:

• The intern is summoned to the office, where he is informed that it is a great honor to be an intern.
• The intern is tasked with crawling through the air duct to determine where the air comes from.
• The intern is unsure of where the air comes from and asks if it comes from outdoors.
• The response is that the air comes from the building itself.
• The intern is confused and asks how this is possible, given that the air duct is not connected to the outdoors.
• The response is that the air comes from the building's interior.

The comic strip pokes fun at the absurdity of the situation and the intern's lack of understanding of how buildings work. It highlights the challenges of being an intern and the sometimes confusing nature of office politics.
