Title: "A Scowl a Day"

Summary:

This comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled, balding man with horns, standing outside his office cubicle. He is dressed in a suit and tie, and has a serious expression on his face.

• Panel 1: Dilbert announces his departure early, citing a dental appointment or "whatnot."
• Panel 2: He instructs his coworker to scowl at anyone who isn't working, as he walks amongst the cubicles until 7 p.m.
• Panel 3: Dilbert returns to his desk, where he is greeted by a coworker who is already scowling. Dilbert responds with a smile, saying, "Nice scowl. I feel slightly menaced."

The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of office politics and the importance of maintaining a professional demeanor.
