AI Analysis

Title: "The Cornerstone of My System"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a bald head, sitting at his desk. He is engaged in a conversation with Wally, another character, who is also bald and wearing glasses.

• Scene 1: Wally asks Dilbert if he is almost done with his part of the project. Dilbert responds that he is working under pressure to meet the deadline.
• Scene 2: Dilbert explains that he will wait until the deadline is almost here before completing his work. Wally points out that this approach is the cornerstone of Dilbert's system.
• Scene 3: Dilbert appears puzzled by Wally's comment, suggesting that he may not fully understand the implications of his own approach.

Overall, the comic strip humorously highlights the tendency of some individuals to procrastinate until the last minute, even when they claim to be working under pressure.
