Official transcript
The Boss sits at his desk with his hands crossed. He says, "Monty. You're not growing into your job as quickly as I hoped."
Monty, a monkey in a suit, stands opposite from The Boss, looking grim. The Boss' voice continues, "So I signed you up for an accelerated evolution program. They pack a million years into a two-day class."
Dogbert stands in front of a blackboard atop a stool and yells to Monty and the monkey behind him as they enter the classroom. He says authoritatively, "Hurry up! We've already lost the opposable thumbs module; let's not lose fire too."

AI Analysis
Comic Strip Title: "Accelerated Evolution Program"
Summary:
The comic strip features Dilbert, a character known for his sarcastic comments and workplace frustrations. In this strip, Dilbert is approached by a colleague who enthusiastically announces that he has signed up for an "Accelerated Evolution Program." The colleague claims that the program will pack a million years of evolution into a two-day class.
Dilbert's skepticism is evident as he responds with a mix of humor and frustration. He questions the feasibility of such a program, pointing out that opposable thumbs have not evolved in humans despite millions of years of evolution. The colleague's response is equally humorous, as he suggests that the opposable thumbs module has been lost and proposes that they not lose fire too.
The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of accelerated evolution and the absurdity of trying to condense millions of years of natural selection into a short period of time. It also highlights the humor in the workplace, where employees often find creative ways to express their frustrations and skepticism. Overall, the comic strip is a lighthearted commentary on the challenges of personal growth and development in the modern workplace.
