Official transcript

Dilbert stands at a desk and Dogbert sits next to a telescope. Dilbert says, "According to my calculations, the asteroid 'Sagnorpt' will collide with earth in 2.3 minutes."

Dogbert covers his eyes and screams, "We're all gonna die!"

Dogbert hugs Dilbert's legs and shouts, "I'm sorry about all of those bad things I've done to you!"

Dogbert cries, "I renounce my evil ways! I dedicate the remaining minute of my life to the poor!!"

Dogbert says, "Waitta minute . . . Why aren't you groveling for salvation?"

Dilbert replies, "The asteroid is only the size of a golf ball."

There's a large crash. Dilbert lies on the floor after the asteroid hits him on the head. Dogbert says, "I probably shouldn't try to read too much into this."

AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Asteroid 'Sagnorpt'"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1990, revolves around an asteroid named 'Sagnorpt' that is on a collision course with Earth. The main character, Dilbert, is depicted as being more concerned about his golf game than the impending disaster. His boss, Dogbert, is shown to be aware of the situation and attempts to reason with Dilbert, but to no avail. The strip humorously highlights the absurdity of people's priorities in the face of catastrophic events.
