Strip Summary

The comic strip features three panels:

• Panel 1: Dilbert is shown in his office, with a colleague sitting across from him. Dilbert says, "I've put my heart and soul into the high-speed-data-by-sewer project."
• Panel 2: Asok, a young Indian man, enters the office and says, "But I believe in developing our talent pool. So I recommend putting Asok in charge of the project. I will be his mentor."
• Panel 3: Dilbert is shown with his mouth open in surprise, while Asok says, "Wow, what should I do first? I wouldn't rule out panicking."

Humor and Commentary

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of promoting someone to a leadership position based on their age and cultural background, rather than their qualifications or experience. The humor lies in the absurdity of the situation and the deadpan delivery of the characters.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
