Comic Strip Title: "Diplomatic Immunity"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a balding head and a white shirt, sitting at his desk. He is engaged in a conversation with a man standing at the door, who is holding a box of maps.

• Dilbert: "I'd like your biggest map of the world for my war room."
• Man: "I'd like this for free. In return, after I conquer the world, I'll make you ambassador to France."
• Dilbert: "Does that require travel? I get air sick."
• Man: "No problem. You'll have diplomatic immunity."

The comic strip is a humorous take on the concept of diplomatic immunity and the idea of conquering the world. It pokes fun at the notion that someone would be willing to give up their freedom for a chance to be an ambassador to France. The use of a map as a symbol of conquest adds to the comedic effect, implying that the man's plan is both ambitious and absurd. Overall, the comic strip is a lighthearted commentary on the complexities of international relations and the quirks of human nature.
