Summary:

The comic strip features a conversation between a boss and an employee, Dilbert, in a business setting.

Dilbert is skeptical about the feasibility of completing the project in such a short timeframe and expresses his concerns to the boss.

Key Points:

  • The boss sets an unrealistic deadline for the project.
  • Dilbert questions the feasibility of completing the project within the given timeframe.
  • The boss is dismissive of Dilbert's concerns and expects him to meet the deadline despite the challenges.
