Title: "Tic Tac Toe"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a pointy-haired boss, and his employees. The scene unfolds as follows:

• Dilbert assigns a project to his employees, stating, "So our pointy-haired boss put me in charge of your project..."
• One employee responds, "Because I was standing in his office when he thought about the project."
• Another employee remarks, "If it makes you feel better, you can keep your morale in this thimble with mine."
• The final employee quips, "I keep mine in a 'Tic Tac' container with my ego."

The comic strip humorously portrays the employees' frustration with their boss's lack of involvement and their own feelings of powerlessness. The punchline, "I keep mine in a 'Tic Tac' container with my ego," adds to the comedic effect by highlighting the absurdity of the situation.
