AI Analysis

Title: "Reformatting My Hard Drive"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled office worker, and his boss, who is from I.S. (Information Systems). The boss informs Dilbert that he didn't ask for any upgrades, implying that Dilbert has made unauthorized changes to his computer. Dilbert responds by saying it's reformattting his hard drive, which the boss interprets as a request for assistance. The boss asks if it's in a row, and Dilbert replies, "Maybe it's me." The comic strip pokes fun at the stereotype of IT professionals being difficult to understand and the frustration that can come with dealing with them.
