AI Analysis

The comic strip is titled "Festering Germ Colony."

Panel 1: A man approaches a woman at a presentation, saying, "Great job on the presentation." The woman responds, "I prefer to avoid contact with that festering germ colony you call a hand."

Panel 2: The man is shocked and offended by her response, but tries to brush it off, saying, "Okay, better safe than sorry."

Panel 3: The woman asks, "And could you face backward when you talk to me?"

Summary: The comic strip humorously portrays a woman's extreme germaphobia and her attempts to avoid physical contact with others. Despite the man's initial shock, he tries to accommodate her request, but the woman's response is still awkward and humorous.

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.
