AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Marketing Makes a Change"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 2002, revolves around the introduction of a new robot designed to be too handsome. The robot is intended to be used as a protest outside the company's headquarters. However, the husbands of the wives who work at the company are not comfortable with the robot's presence, leading to its removal.

In the second part of the comic strip, marketing is tasked with making the robot look and talk exactly like them. The marketing team is initially confused by this request but eventually comes up with a solution. They suggest that the robot should be designed to look like a tall filing cabinet, which is exactly what marketing looks like.

The final part of the comic strip shows the robot being introduced to the company, with the marketing team proudly presenting it. However, the robot is still zero sales, indicating that it has not been effective in its intended purpose.
