Comic Strip Title: "Capital-ism"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1990, features Dilbert taking a slingshot ride to Elbonia's capital. The strip consists of three panels:

• Panel 1: Dilbert asks where Elbonia's capital is, and the response is "There it is...". The scene shows a slingshot launching Dilbert into the air.
• Panel 2: Dilbert lands in a muddy area, with a character saying, "It's a good thing this whole country is made of mud." The scene depicts Dilbert standing in the mud, looking around.
• Panel 3: A group of characters ask Dilbert if he brought blue jeans, as they have come to teach him about capitalism. The scene shows Dilbert standing in the mud, surrounded by the group of characters.

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of capitalism and the concept of a country being made entirely of mud. It uses humor to highlight the absurdity of the situation.
