Summary:

This 'Dilbert' comic strip, originally published in 1989, humorously portrays a common workplace scenario. The strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled white dog, and his boss, a balding man wearing a white shirt and red tie.

Key Elements:

• Dilbert's Sneeze: Dilbert's sudden sneeze is the central event of the strip, which is accompanied by a loud "AAACHOO!" sound effect.
• Boss's Reaction: The boss, standing behind Dilbert, is startled by the sudden noise and covers his mouth with his hand, indicating his concern for germ transmission.
• Dilbert's Response: Dilbert, unfazed by the interruption, responds with a nonchalant "Thanks... I always put a hand over my mouth when I sneeze."
• Humor: The strip's humor lies in the unexpected and exaggerated reaction of the boss, as well as Dilbert's matter-of-fact response, which pokes fun at the common workplace etiquette of covering one's mouth when sneezing.

Overall, this comic strip offers a lighthearted and relatable take on the challenges of working in an office environment.
