AI Analysis

Title: "Airport Security"

Summary:

The comic strip depicts a scene at an airport security checkpoint, where a line of people is waiting to be screened. The security officer instructs each person to remove their jackets and shoes, and to place them in a green bin. One individual, however, requests to remove an epidermal layer and put it in a plastic bag instead. The security officer is taken aback by this request and responds, "It's a federal crime to mention the movies 'Ishtar,' 'Glitter,' or 'Gigli'." The humor in the strip lies in the absurdity of the situation and the unexpected twist on the typical airport security protocol.
