AI Analysis
Title: "The Review Says..."
Summary:
- The comic strip depicts a group of employees discussing a trade publication's ranking of their workplace as "dead last" on the list of "best places to work."
- One employee sarcastically comments that the review says "employees say working there is like eating a barrel of dead squirrels."
- Another employee responds, "could have been worse," implying that being ranked last is not the worst outcome.
- The punchline is delivered by a third employee, who quips, "only for the squirrels."
- The humor comes from the unexpected twist on the typical phrase "only for the birds," which is often used to describe a situation that is not ideal but could be worse.
- The comic strip pokes fun at the idea that even a negative review can be seen as a positive outcome in a humorous way.

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.
