Summary:

This comic strip, originally published in 2013, features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with black hair, sitting at his desk. He is engaged in a conversation with a colleague, who is holding a cell phone and wearing a white shirt with a red tie.

The conversation begins with the colleague stating, "This isn't what I wanted. I know." Dilbert responds, "But given your unclear email and your unwillingness to answer follow-up questions, I decided to do whatever entertained me."
