Comic Strip Title: "A.S.P.C.A. to Speed Dialer"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a white dog, engaging in a conversation with a man holding a speed dialer. The dialogue revolves around the ethics of killing flies versus dolphins, with Dilbert questioning the morality of killing dolphins due to their intelligence and social behavior. The man responds by stating that dolphins are not as deserving of respect and protection as flies, citing their ability to fly as a reason. Dilbert retorts that there is a dolphin on the man's forehead, implying that the man is being hypocritical. The man then adds the A.S.P.C.A. to his speed dialer, suggesting that he has taken Dilbert's concerns into account.
