• Wally: "Coincidentally, that is the same strategy used by the insane."
• Dilbert: "I should fire you for your insubordination."
• Wally: "Or you could zig."

The comic strip humorously highlights the contrast between traditional leadership strategies and the unconventional approach advocated by Dilbert.
