Dilbert states, "I can't legally offer you large cash kickbacks for deciding in my favor. But please take a moment to complete a self-addressed stamped envelope." The judge responds, "What are you doing? I'm trying to establish 'reasonable doubt.'"

The comic strip is humorous because it depicts a situation where Dilbert is attempting to bribe the judge, but the judge is not having it. The use of the phrase "reasonable doubt" adds to the humor, as it is typically associated with legal proceedings, but in this case, it is being used in a more literal sense.
