Comic Strip Title: "Fifteenth of Floopuary"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a software engineer, and his boss, Wally. The conversation begins with Dilbert asking how to make a software schedule that spans one person to two tasks at the same time. Wally responds by suggesting that Dilbert write a patch that inserts new months into the timeline. Dilbert is confused and asks when this is due, to which Wally replies, "On the fifteenth of Floopuary." The punchline is humorous because "Floopuary" is not a real month, implying that Wally is making up a fake deadline. The comic strip pokes fun at the absurdity of bureaucratic language and the challenges of managing complex projects.
