Summary:

He is engaged in a conversation with a colleague, who asks if there is more to life than just working. Dilbert responds by listing various complaints about work, including the nightly periods of unconsciousness and sweet, sweet death.

The colleague then asks if Dilbert should have kids, to which he replies, "Maybe I should have kids... to share the joy?"
