Comic Strip Title: "Genetic Experiments"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a distinctive hairdo, seated at a table with a group of colleagues. The conversation begins with a colleague asking if genetic experiments are ethical, to which Dilbert responds that they are rationalized to improve the quality of life. However, when another colleague asks what he is making, Dilbert reveals that he is creating a skunkopotamus, a creature that combines the characteristics of a skunk and a potamus (pot-bellied pig).

The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of scientific experimentation and the potential consequences of playing with nature. The use of wordplay and satire adds to the comedic effect, making it a relatable and entertaining read for fans of the 'Dilbert' series.
