Official transcript

Catbert approaches Wally and says, "I mapped your genome Wally."

Wally replies, "I didn't know the human resources department had that technology."

Catbert responds, "I used a pencil."

Wally says to Catbert, "Your genes predict that you will be a bitter, lazy, caucasian guy with six hairs and poor vision."

Catbert answers, "You'll hate cubicles, measurable objectives, and cats who map your genome."

Wally says to Catbert, "This is a violation of my right to privacy! I'll fight it all the way to the Supreme Court."

Catbert responds, "No, according to my map, you'll lose interest and fall asleep."

Catbert says to Wally as he sleeps, "I wonder if this technology will ever fall into the wrong hands."

AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Genetic Predictions"

Summary:

The comic strip, titled "Genetic Predictions," features Dilbert and his cat, Dogbert, in a humorous exchange. The scene unfolds in an office setting, where Dilbert is seated at his desk, and Dogbert is perched on top of it. The conversation begins with Dogbert stating that he has mapped Dilbert's genome and predicts that he will be a "bitter, lazy, Caucasian guy with six hairs and poor vision." Dilbert is shocked by this prediction and asks Dogbert to explain how he arrived at this conclusion.

Dogbert responds by saying that he used a pencil to map Dilbert's genome, which is a violation of his right to privacy. Dilbert is outraged and demands that Dogbert stop this activity immediately. However, Dogbert refuses, stating that he will continue to map Dilbert's genome and predict his future based on the data.

The comic strip ends with Dogbert falling asleep, exhausted from his efforts to map Dilbert's genome. The punchline of the comic strip is that Dogbert's predictions are based on a flawed methodology, and his conclusions are therefore inaccurate.

Key Points:

• Dogbert maps Dilbert's genome using a pencil.
• Dogbert predicts that Dilbert will be a "bitter, lazy, Caucasian guy with six hairs and poor vision."
• Dilbert is outraged by this prediction and demands that Dogbert stop.
• Dogbert refuses to stop and continues to map Dilbert's genome.
• The comic strip ends with Dogbert falling asleep, exhausted from his efforts.
