Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1992, features Dilbert and his boss, the Pointy-Haired Boss, on a plane. The boss is excited about the flight, but Dilbert is skeptical. As the plane takes off, the boss promises that it will be a "most memorable vacation." However, the plane hits turbulence, and the boss's promise is proved wrong.

Key Panels:

• Panel 1: Dilbert and the boss are shown sitting in their seats, with the boss enthusiastically declaring that this will be their "most memorable vacation yet."
• Panel 2: The boss continues to promise that the young and feeble passengers are completely edible, implying that they will be served as food in case of an emergency.
• Panel 3: The plane hits turbulence, and the boss's promise is proved wrong as the plane crashes into a mountain.

Humor and Satire:

The comic strip uses humor and satire to poke fun at the idea of a boss making unrealistic promises and the absurdity of the situation. The use of wordplay, such as the boss's promise that the passengers are "completely edible," adds to the comedic effect. Overall, the comic strip is a lighthearted and humorous take on the challenges of air travel.
