Summary:
In this humorous Dilbert comic strip, the boss and an engineer engage in a lighthearted conversation about the engineer's role and responsibilities.
Key Points:

- The engineer confidently asserts that he is a better engineer than the boss, despite the boss's skepticism.
- The boss expresses surprise at the engineer's claim, implying that the engineer may not be as skilled as he thinks.
- The engineer reveals that he is working on a "time-line chart," which the boss assumes is a "circuit design."
- The comic strip pokes fun at the common phenomenon of engineers being overly confident in their abilities and the occasional miscommunication between colleagues.
