Comic Strip Title: "Grapes of Wrath"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled office worker, at a grocery store. He spots a coworker, a tall man with glasses, eating grapes from a display. Dilbert approaches the man and asks if he has seen him eating the grapes, to which the man responds that he has. Dilbert then asks if he wants to pay for the grapes, and the man replies that he is happy.

Key Elements:
