AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "The Joke's On Him"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 2010, revolves around a character who is called to a meeting with other employees. The character is instructed to take a call from one of their colleagues who also works from home. However, the colleague's voice is unrecognizable, leading the character to joke that they can't tell who it is when they're joking.

The punchline of the joke is that the character is actually being called by their own boss, who is also working from home. The humor lies in the unexpected twist and the absurdity of the situation. The comic strip pokes fun at the challenges of remote work and the difficulties of distinguishing between colleagues when working from home.

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.
