Comic Strip Title: "Name Game"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a character known for his sarcastic wit and frustration with his boss, Pointy-Haired Boss. In this particular strip, Pointy-Haired Boss is struggling to remember Dilbert's name and asks him to refer to him as either "Buddy" or "Big Guy." Dilbert is unimpressed by this request and responds with a series of humorous comments, including:

• "I'm finding it a burden to remember your name."
• "From now on, I'll refer to you as either 'Buddy' or 'Big Guy.'"
• "How about if I get a name tag? Then you could just read it."
• "Do I look like I have that kind of time?"

Throughout the strip, Dilbert's deadpan reactions and witty comebacks highlight his exasperation with his boss's antics. The comic strip pokes fun at the absurdity of office politics and the challenges of working with difficult colleagues.
