AI Analysis

Title: "The Eighth Revision"

Summary:

The comic strip features a conversation between a boss and an employee in a meeting. The employee asks if they are referring to the original schedule or the eighth revision, prompting the boss to respond that schedules can change and it would be called a "calendar." The humor lies in the absurdity of having an eighth revision of a schedule, implying that the company is constantly revising and updating its plans, with the boss's nonchalant response adding to the comedic effect. The comic strip pokes fun at the bureaucratic nature of office work and the tendency for things to become overly complicated.
