Comic Strip Title: "Ethical Hacking"

Summary:

The comic strip features a man named Dogbert, who is an unethical hacker. In the first panel, he is shown sitting at a computer, with a speech bubble saying, "It isn't ethical to hack into the payroll computer and give me a raise, Dogbert." The second panel shows Dogbert responding, "Not ethical? Is it ethical for them to make you work seventy hours a week and only pay you for forty?!!" The third panel depicts Dogbert's boss, Dilbert, asking, "How about a five percent raise? Well, there is the issue of the quality of your work..." The comic strip highlights the irony of the situation, where Dogbert is being asked to work long hours for minimal pay, and he is considering hacking into the payroll system to give himself a raise. The final panel shows Dogbert's boss offering a five percent raise, which is met with skepticism by Dogbert. The comic strip pokes fun at the absurdity of the situation and the lack of ethics in the workplace.
