Comic Strip Title: "The Binder Conundrum"

Summary:

The comic strip revolves around a conversation between Dilbert and his coworkers about a binder. The strip is divided into three panels, each featuring a different scenario.

• Panel 1: Dilbert asks three coworkers for information on redundant projects. They all respond with the same answer: "You must be on redundant projects."
• Panel 2: Dilbert finds a big binder that seems useful but realizes it's not. He asks his coworkers if they want it, but they decline.
• Panel 3: Dilbert decides to use the binder to build an addition to his cubicle. He asks his coworkers if they want to join him, but they decline again.

Key Points:

• The use of a binder as a tool for building an addition to a cubicle is a humorous example of creative problem-solving.
• The strip pokes fun at the bureaucratic nature of office work and the tendency for employees to avoid taking action.
