I FINISHED CODING THE NEW FEATURE.

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

IT TOOK AS LONG AS IT NEEDED TO TAKE.

YOU'RE BEHIND SCHEDULE.

I'M NOT THE ONE WHO CREATED THE SCHEDULE! THAT WAS YOU!!!

MAYBE YOU SHOULD FIRE YOURSELF FOR BEING SO BAD AT MAKING SCHEDULES.

THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

THEY'RE STARTING TO CATCH ON THAT MOST OF WHAT I SAY DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.

AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Behind Schedule"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in, revolves around a conversation between Dilbert and his boss, who is frustrated with the project's timeline. The boss asks Dilbert what took so long to complete the new feature, to which Dilbert responds that it took as long as it needed to take.

The boss then expresses his disappointment, stating that Dilbert is behind schedule. Dilbert defends himself, claiming that he is not the one who created the schedule and that he was not the one who created the schedule. The boss retorts that even if Dilbert didn't create the schedule, he is still responsible for meeting the deadline.

The conversation escalates, with the boss becoming increasingly agitated, while Dilbert remains calm and collected. The strip concludes with the boss storming off, leaving Dilbert to ponder the meaning of "even mean." The comic strip humorously highlights the challenges of working under tight deadlines and the frustrations that can arise when projects fall behind schedule.

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.
