Comic Strip Title: "Lost and Found"

Summary:

The comic strip revolves around Dilbert, a bespectacled character with a distinctive appearance, who has lost an intellectual property case with his ex-employer. The strip consists of three panels, each featuring Dilbert and a woman.

Panel 1:

Dilbert walks down the street, lamenting the loss of the case. The woman, who is walking in the opposite direction, overhears him and asks if he's lost something. Dilbert replies that he's lost an intellectual property case with his ex-employer, now owning his name.

Panel 2:

The woman asks if it costs him five dollars every time he introduces himself. Dilbert confirms this, stating that he already forgot his name and wants to know what it was.
