Title: "Love in the Time of Therapy"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1990, features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a distinctive hairstyle, in a therapy session. The therapist, a woman with curly hair, is trying to help Dilbert overcome his hatred of his job. However, Dilbert's response is unexpected: he reveals that he hates his job because he hasn't had a decent date in a year, and his biological clock is ticking away.

The therapist is taken aback by this revelation and asks if it would be unethical to date one of her patients. Dilbert responds with a sarcastic comment, saying that it would be an "ugly one." The therapist is amused by this response and suggests that Dilbert might be interested in someone outside of the therapy room.

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of dating in the workplace and the challenges of finding love. It also highlights the importance of communication and understanding in relationships. Overall, the strip is a humorous take on the ups and downs of dating and the human experience.
