Title: "Mind Power"

Summary:

This comic strip, originally published in 1989, features the main character Dilbert, a white oval with a black dot for a mouth and two black dots for eyes, sitting on a pillow. The strip consists of three panels.

• Panel 1: Dilbert thinks about the brain's potential to hold great powers waiting to be discovered.
• Panel 2: Dilbert decides to make a ball levitate with pure mind power.
• Panel 3: The ball is shown floating above the floor, and Dilbert is shocked, exclaiming "Dang. Nothing." The scene ends with Dilbert lying on the floor, unresponsive.

The comic strip humorously explores the idea of using mind power to achieve seemingly impossible tasks, highlighting the absurdity of Dilbert's attempt and the unexpected outcome.
