AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Twenty Minutes Waiting"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a red shirt and a distinctive hairstyle, standing in front of a yellow background. The strip is divided into three panels, each with a caption and a simple drawing of Dilbert.

Panel 1:

• Caption: "I'll be forty minutes late."
• Drawing: Dilbert holding a cell phone and looking at it with a concerned expression.

Panel 2:

• Caption: "I just wasted twenty minutes waiting. Why didn't you tell me as soon as you knew?"
• Drawing: Dilbert pointing at someone off-panel, looking angry.

Panel 3:

• Caption: "Because I knew you would be a jerk about it, so I punished you."
• Drawing: Dilbert holding up a cell phone and saying "Oh" with a shocked expression.

The comic strip humorously depicts Dilbert's frustration with being kept waiting and his sarcastic response to the person who informed him of the delay.

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.
