Summary:

This comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled office worker, and his red monster friend, Dogbert. The story begins with Dilbert's boss, the Director of Human Resources, asking him to keep up the appearance of being evil. Dilbert struggles to do so, as he finds it difficult to be evil. He tries to eat a tiny object that falls to the floor, but can't stop himself from laughing at the absurdity of the situation. Dogbert, who is sitting next to him, mocks Dilbert's lack of evilness, calling him a "hag" and saying that he's not even hungry. Dilbert tries to defend himself, but ultimately admits that he's not evil and can't stop himself from laughing at the situation. The comic strip ends with Dogbert laughing at Dilbert's expense, and Dilbert looking embarrassed and frustrated.
