Title: "Dogbert's Blame Game"
This comic strip, originally published in 1993, features the mischievous character Dogbert, who is hired as a "blame consultant" by a company. The storyline unfolds as follows:
- Panel 1: Dogbert meets with the company's problems, played by Willy, and immediately begins to deflect blame onto others.
- Panel 2: Dogbert accuses the senior executives of being responsible for the company's issues, but when asked to identify them, he points to the individual employee, who must build innovative new products and pioneer new markets.
- Panel 3: The individual employee reveals that Dogbert has been hired to type, and Dogbert responds by claiming that he's seen the employee's typing and it's terrible.
The comic strip pokes fun at the tendency for people to shift blame onto others and the absurdity of hiring a "blame consultant" to solve problems. It also highlights the irony of Dogbert's situation, where he's hired to type but instead spends his time deflecting blame. Overall, the comic strip uses humor to comment on the human tendency to avoid responsibility and the absurdity of corporate bureaucracy.
