AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "The Assistant Manager"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled office worker, sitting at his desk. He expresses his desire for an assistant manager, stating, "I need a brilliant employee to be my assistant manager." A man in a blue suit and tie approaches him and says, "That's why I came to you." Dilbert is surprised and asks, "That's the first nice thing... your job is to clone me." The man then proceeds to clone Dilbert, creating an identical duplicate. The comic strip humorously portrays the absurdity of office politics and the desire for control and power.
