Panel 1:

  • Dilbert is shown sitting at his desk, looking at a document.

Panel 2:

  • Dilbert is shown jumping into action, with a speech bubble saying: "Suddenly he leaps into action!"
  • The caption reads: "Years of training and experience come into focus!"

Panel 3:

  • Dilbert is shown sitting at his desk again, looking dejected.
  • A thought bubble says: "I should have moved the mouse."

Overall:

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea that people often think they know what they're doing, but may not actually be doing it correctly. It suggests that even experienced professionals can make mistakes and question their methods. The use of humor and satire highlights the relatable nature of this theme, making it a lighthearted and entertaining read.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
