Comic Strip Title: "A Dull Presentation"

Summary:

The comic strip depicts a meeting where a presenter is discussing system failures with the previous software. However, the presenter's presentation lacks practical value, and the audience is uninterested.

Key Points:

• The presenter shows a slide with "15" on it, stating that they had fifteen system failures with the previous software.
• The audience member responds, "Your data aren't actionable."
• The presenter asks, "What?"
• The audience member suggests that the presentation has no practical value.
• The presenter tries to regain interest by asking if the meeting feels awkward and if they can go back to acting interested.
• The audience member responds, "I guess."
• The presenter asks if they can put the ugly incident behind them.
• The audience member suggests multiplying the digits to get five.
• The presenter shows another slide with "15" on it and asks if it's a crime to call them guilty.
• The audience member responds, "Well, if that's suddenly a crime, then call me guilty!"

Overall:

The comic strip pokes fun at the monotony and lack of engagement in a typical business meeting. The presenter's attempts to regain interest are met with sarcasm and dismissal by the audience member. The strip highlights the absurdity of the situation and the frustration that can come with trying to make a presentation interesting.
