Comic Strip Title: "The List"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled red creature, sitting at his desk, looking concerned. His boss, a human, enters the room and hands him a list. The list includes the names of people who have worked to death, with Dilbert's name at the top. The boss then reveals that he has another project for Dilbert, which Dilbert responds to with a loud "AACK!" The comic strip is a humorous commentary on the corporate world and the pressures that come with working in a high-stress environment.
