Comic Strip Title: "The Common Cold Cure"

Summary:

• The comic strip features Dilbert, a white office worker, and his boss, a balding man with a blue shirt.
• Dilbert claims to have invented a cure for the common cold.
• The boss is skeptical and asks if it's a pill that makes you nauseous.
• Dilbert responds, "Only if you have a cold."
• The punchline is that the cure only works if you already have a cold, making it ineffective.
• The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of a quick fix for a complex problem like the common cold.
