Title: "Cubicle Advertising"
Summary:
The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with black hair, standing in front of a computer in his office cubicle. He is concerned about employees running side businesses from their cubicles, as indicated by signs in the neighboring cubicles. These signs advertise various products, including "SHOE WORLD", "SOFTWARE OUTLET", and "PALMS READ $25".
Dilbert's boss, Wally, is shown holding a sign that reads "WALBERT INC." and asks Dilbert what he thinks about "yellow pages ads". The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of employees using their workspaces to promote their own businesses, highlighting the absurdity of the situation.
