Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled office worker, discussing the rising cost of college with his boss. The boss predicts that the cost will increase by 20% per year, prompting Dilbert to consider alternative options, including throwing out the cost of orthodontia and haircuts, or buying a child from Norway. The comic strip humorously highlights the challenges of affording higher education and the creative solutions people might consider.
