NO FACE MASK?

I HAVE ANTIBODIES FOR THE VIRUS.

I'M PRETTY SURE I HAD THE VIRUS LAST JANUARY WHEN I HAD A THROAT TICKLE.

I WONDER WHY VIRUS TEST KITS EXIST WHEN WE CAN JUST ASK PEOPLE IF THEY HAD IT.

I WAS WONDERING THE SAME.

AI Analysis

The title of this comic strip is "Antibodies for the Virus".

The comic strip features Dilbert, a character known for his sarcastic and humorous take on workplace life, in a conversation with his boss. The conversation revolves around Dilbert's claim of having antibodies for the virus, which he believes should protect him from getting sick.

The comic strip is divided into three panels, each with a different conversation between Dilbert and his boss. In the first panel, Dilbert asks his boss if he has a face mask, to which his boss responds that he doesn't need one because he has antibodies for the virus. In the second panel, Dilbert reveals that he had the virus last January when he had a throat tickle, and his boss is surprised by this information. In the third panel, Dilbert wonders why virus test kits exist if people can just ask if they had the virus, and his boss responds that he was wondering the same thing.

Overall, the comic strip pokes fun at the idea of relying solely on antibodies to protect oneself from getting sick, and highlights the absurdity of the situation. It also touches on the topic of virus test kits and the importance of taking precautions to prevent the spread of illness.
