Official transcript

Dogbert sits at a desk. A voice from heaven says, "We've decided to revoke your angel status. You're giving us all a bad name."

Dogbert says, "Your problem is that you define 'healing' too narrowly. I'm making ugly people look attractive, and that's important, too."

Wally approaches Dogbert's desk. Wally's head has been replaced with Dogbert's head. He asks Dogbert, "Is it too late to go back to my old look?"

Dogbert replies, "Why? You're beautiful!"

AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Healing Too Narrowly"

Summary:

The comic strip features a penguin in an office setting, addressing an angel who has been tasked with revoking the penguin's angel status due to its perceived negative impact on others. The penguin argues that it is making people look attractive and attractive, too, which is a positive trait. The angel is convinced by the penguin's argument and decides to revoke its own angel status instead. The comic strip humorously explores the idea that even negative traits can have positive effects.
