AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Mordac, the Web Mistress"

Summary:

The comic strip features Mordac, the Web Mistress, as the main character. The strip is divided into three panels, each depicting a different scene.

• Panel 1: Mordac introduces herself to a man, stating that she is the Web Mistress. The man responds by saying he is Mordac, the Preventer of Information Services.
• Panel 2: The man warns Mordac that her firewall is inadequate and must be punished. Mordac retaliates by pointing out that her HTML is weak and must also be punished.
• Panel 3: The man attempts to reason with Mordac, saying "I must have you!" Mordac responds by saying "Talk Cobo to me, baby." The man is confused and asks what she means, to which Mordac replies "You know, Cobo. It's a language."

Overall:

The comic strip is a humorous take on the relationship between Mordac and the man, with Mordac using her position as Web Mistress to assert her authority and control. The use of technical terms like "firewall" and "HTML" adds to the comedic effect, as does Mordac's playful use of language.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
