Comic Strip Title: "Automatic Dentures"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a character known for his sarcastic wit and workplace struggles.
In this particular strip, Dilbert's boss is giving him an annual review, which is a common workplace scenario.
However, the twist is that the boss is asking Dilbert about his biggest accomplishment, and Dilbert responds by saying that his biggest accomplishment was the invention of automatic dentures.
The punchline is that the boss can eat while he's asleep, implying that the invention of automatic dentures has made it possible for people to eat without having to wake up.
The humor in the strip comes from the unexpected twist on the typical annual review scenario, as well as the absurdity of the idea that someone would invent automatic dentures as their biggest accomplishment.
