Title: "Inconvenient Time"
Summary:
This comic strip, originally published in 1991, features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a distinctive appearance, sitting at his desk. He is on the phone with a company that promises "unverifiable savings" if he switches to their service. The conversation is marked by the company's insistence on calling back at an inconvenient time, despite Dilbert's repeated requests to schedule a call.
Key Elements:
- Dilbert's frustration with the company's tactics
- The company's promise of "unverifiable savings"

Overall:
The comic strip pokes fun at the common experience of dealing with telemarketers and the often-inconvenient nature of their sales pitches. It is a humorous commentary on the frustrations of modern life and the ways in which companies try to sell their products or services.
