The comic strip is titled "A Fungus Among Us."
The strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled engineer, sitting at his desk with his computer. A small, white creature with a large head and eyes appears in the first panel, asking Dilbert to hear some engineer jokes. Dilbert responds with a "no," and the creature disappears.
In the second panel, the creature reappears, asking what the difference is between a fungus and an engineer. Dilbert responds that a fungus can grow on you, and the creature says "hee hee." The creature then asks what do you call a dog that's been run over by a steamroller, and Dilbert responds with "spot." The creature says "hee hee" again.
In the third panel, the creature asks how many engineers does it take to change a lightbulb, and Dilbert responds with "six: one to hold the bulb and five to argue about how to rotate it on this side of the equator. Hee hee..." The creature laughs and says "hee hee" once more.
In the fourth panel, the creature says "we were having such a good time until he started getting personal." The final panel shows the creature walking away, leaving Dilbert at his desk.
Overall, the comic strip is a humorous exchange between Dilbert and the small, white creature, with the creature making jokes and Dilbert responding with witty comebacks. The strip is a lighthearted and entertaining addition to the 'Dilbert' series.
