Comic Strip Title: "Bias Training"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 2019, depicts a scene where an employee is being trained on unconscious bias. The training is presented as a series of humorous and satirical panels, highlighting the absurdity of the situation.

Key Panels:

• Panel 1: The employee is shown sitting at a desk, with a trainer standing in front of them. The trainer states, "You haven't completed the mandatory training on unconscious bias."
• Panel 2: The employee responds, "I'm not biased." The trainer replies, "Maybe you are when you are not conscious."
• Panel 3: The employee asks, "I'm a bigot in my sleep?" The trainer responds, "And you look like a drooler."
• Panel 4: The employee looks confused, and the trainer says, "You're a bigot in your sleep."

Humor and Satire:

The comic strip uses humor and satire to critique the idea of unconscious bias training. The trainer's statements are exaggerated and absurd, implying that the training is overly simplistic and ineffective. The employee's responses are also humorous, as they struggle to understand the trainer's logic.

Overall:

The comic strip pokes fun at the concept of unconscious bias training, suggesting that it may be more about making employees feel guilty or ashamed rather than actually addressing the issue. The use of humor and satire makes the comic strip relatable and entertaining, while also highlighting the flaws in the training approach.
