Comic Strip Title: "Reincarnation"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a distinctive hairstyle, in a humorous exchange with his boss, a balding man with a receding hairline. The scene unfolds as follows:

• Dilbert reports on the death of Asok, an intern who died during a test of the moon shuttle prototype.
• Dilbert's boss expresses sadness over the loss, but also reveals a peculiar plan to reincarnate Asok into his own clone.
• Dilbert is perplexed by this proposal, asking where the jar with Asok's DNA is located.
• The boss responds that he needs a second candy jar to store the DNA, leading to a comical exchange about the jar's whereabouts.

This lighthearted comic strip pokes fun at the idea of cloning and reincarnation, highlighting the absurdity of the situation through the characters' deadpan reactions.
