Title: "Familiar Faces"

Summary:

This 'Dilbert' comic strip, originally published in 1992, features a humorous scene where a group of coworkers are introduced to each other. The conversation begins with a man stating, "Let's begin by going around the table and introducing ourselves." The first person, Dilbert, introduces himself and mentions that he has worked for the company for five years. Next, Albert introduces himself, stating that he has worked for the company for six years. Alice then introduces herself, revealing that she has worked for the company for ten years. Finally, Sally introduces herself, stating that she has worked for the company for eight years.

The punchline of the comic strip comes when the man asks, "I knew these people looked familiar." The humor lies in the fact that all of the coworkers have worked for the company for an equal number of years, making it seem like they are all the same person. The comic strip pokes fun at the idea that people in a workplace can become interchangeable and lose their individuality.
