Official transcript

Alice is sitting at her desk. The Boss approaches from behind and says, "Alice, meet our new sales manager."

Alice stands up. The Pigboy enters and stands next to The Boss. The Boss says, "He's a Pigboy who makes inappropriate comments every five minutes."

The Boss turns to the Pigboy and says, "Somehow he slipped through our rigorous employment screening process."

The Boss looks at his watch and says, "Whoa! His five minutes are up."

The Pigboy starts, "So Alice..."

Blocking the rest of the Pigboy's comment is "Inappropriate Comment Deleted."

The Boss is chuckling. Alice says, "That was very clever. Now let me try one."

Alice's pushes The Boss out of the way and screams profanity at the Pigboy. Her comment is also blocked by, "Inappropriate Comment Deleted."

The Pigboy's head has exploded. Visibly frazzled, The Boss turns to Alice and asks, "How did you learn to swear like that?"

Alice responds, "I used to date a one-eyed carpenter."

AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Inappropriate Comment Deleted"

Summary:

The comic strip revolves around Alice, the new sales manager, who is tasked with screening employees' comments. The story unfolds as follows:

• A pigboy is hired, and his five minutes are up.
• Alice deletes an inappropriate comment.
• Another employee makes an inappropriate comment, which is also deleted.
• A carpenter is introduced, who is not the subject of the inappropriate comment.
• The comic strip concludes with the carpenter's statement, "I used to date a not-eyed carpenter," which is not deleted.

The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of the situation and the challenges faced by Alice in her new role.
