Dilbert stands at the counter wearing an apron. He reads a recipe and thinks, "Add one jar of spaghetti sauce . . ."

Dilbert struggles with the lid on the can. Dilbert lies on the counter trying to open the jar. Dogbert says, "Let me try to humiliate you by opening it easily."

Dogbert struggles with the lid and thinks, "This definitely would have worked in 'Family Circus.'"

Dogbert hands the jar to Bob the Dinosaur. Bob says, "No problem for a mighty dinosaur."
