AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Eyes Closed"

Summary:

The comic strip features Alice, a character who works in a cubicle, and her coworkers. The story begins with Alice being told that employees are not allowed to eat in the cubicles. However, she is seen eating a sandwich while working on her computer. Her coworker, Dilbert, is standing nearby, watching her.

As Alice takes a bite of her sandwich, she starts to chew with her mouth open, and Dilbert is shocked by her behavior. He exclaims, "You started it!" implying that Alice's actions have set off a chain reaction of bad behavior among the employees.

The comic strip ends with Alice looking guilty and embarrassed, while Dilbert walks away, seemingly satisfied with having pointed out her mistake. The title of the comic strip is "Eyes Closed," which refers to the fact that Alice was eating with her mouth open, and her eyes were closed as she chewed. The comic strip pokes fun at the idea that employees may not always follow the rules, and that sometimes, it takes someone else to point out their mistakes.
