AI Analysis

Title: "Sales Training"

Summary:

The comic strip is divided into three panels, each depicting a scene from a sales training session. The first panel shows a man holding a mirror, instructing another man to act like he's selling something. The second panel reveals that the man is actually a victim of a crime, and the instructor is advising him not to see it coming. The third panel shows the instructor standing in front of an audience, with the man who was previously the victim now holding a sign that reads "AAIEE!!" The instructor is saying, "For this next demonstration, I need a volunteer who can't see what's coming." The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of sales training and the potential for it to be ineffective or even harmful.
