Official transcript

Alice is sitting at her computer. The Boss approaches and says, "Make the box bluer."

The Boss continues, "A little more.. A little more... A little more.."

Alice interrupts, "That's it!!"

Alice opens her drawer and exclaims, "When you get tired of micromanaging me..."

Alice hands The Boss a cup of blood and continues, "Put this sample of my blood under a microscope so you can manage me on a cellular level."

Alice continues yelling, "And here's a book by Erwin Schrodinger in case you'd like to manage me on a quantum level!"

Alice screams, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

The Boss walks out carrying the blood sample and book. He thinks, "Free gifts."

The Boss sits at his desk and says to the blood sample, "Now I want all of you white blood cells to spell 'Hi.'"

AI Analysis

Title: "Dilbert" by Scott Adams

Summary:

This comic strip, originally published in 2002, features Dilbert, a bespectacled, anthropomorphic dog, and his coworker Wally, a human. The strip is divided into eight panels, each with a unique background color.

Panel 1: Dilbert, wearing a gray suit and blue tie, stands at his desk, addressing a female coworker. He says, "Make the box bluer." The female coworker responds, "A little more... a little more... a little more... THAT'S IT!!"

Panel 2: Dilbert's coworker exclaims, "A little more... a little more... a little more... THAT'S IT!!"

Panel 3: Dilbert's coworker says, "When you get tired of micromanaging me..."

Panel 4: Dilbert's coworker continues, "Put this sample of my blood under a microscope so you can manage me on a cellular level."

Panel 5: Dilbert's coworker hands him a cup of coffee, saying, "Now I want all of you white blood cells to spell 'HI'."

Panel 6: Dilbert holds a book by Erwin Schrödinger, titled "Quantum Mechanics for Dummies," and asks, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Panel 7: Dilbert's coworker responds, "Free gifts."

Panel 8: Dilbert sits at his desk, looking at his coworker, who is sitting across from him. She says, "Now I want all of you white blood cells to spell 'HI'."

The comic strip humorously depicts Dilbert's coworker's absurd requests and Dilbert's attempts to understand her. The use of scientific concepts, such as quantum mechanics, adds to the comedic effect.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
