Sunday Can't Submit Late Bid


Open source transcript

I FORGOT ABOUT THIS FOR A MONTH, AND NOW IT IS TOP PRIORITY.

WHEN IS IT DUE?

LAST WEEK.

THEN IT'S ALREADY TOO LATE.

NOT IF WE HURRY YOU DO KNOW THAT HURRYING DOES NOT REVERSE THE ARROW OF TIME, RIGHT?

IF WE HURRY, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SUBMIT OUR BID AFTER THE DEADLINE.

IT SOUNDS AS IF YOU ARE ASKING ME TO WORK DAY AND NIGHT TO FINISH SOMETHING THAT IS ALMOST CERTAINLY A WASTE OF TIME.

IT WILL BE FINE. TRUST ME.

TWO DAYS LATER IT'S DONE.

YOU FOOL!

I CAN'T SUBMIT A LATE BID!

AI Analysis

Title: "The Art of Procrastination"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 2002, showcases Dilbert's boss, the Pointy-Haired Boss (PHB), in a humorous exchange with Dilbert. The PHB repeatedly requests that Dilbert submit a bid for a project, despite knowing that the deadline has passed. Dilbert, frustrated by the PHB's lack of urgency, decides to wait until the last possible moment to submit the bid.

The comic strip highlights the PHB's tendency to procrastinate and lack accountability, while also poking fun at the absurdity of bureaucratic red tape. The strip features the signature wit and satire that has made "Dilbert" a beloved and relatable comic strip among readers.
