Comic Strip Title: "Marching into the Sea"

Summary:

The comic strip depicts a conversation between Dilbert, an office worker, and his boss, the President. The President asks Dilbert to make suggestions on how to run the country. Dilbert responds by pointing out that the citizens are mostly imbeciles and that the executive order should be given to march into the sea. The President is shocked and tells Dilbert that he won't have to hear his brother sing anymore. The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of a president seeking advice from an office worker and the absurdity of the suggestions made.
