Comic Strip Title: "Mentoring Wally"

Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a bald head, who is mentoring Wally, a red creature resembling a cat. Dilbert expresses his frustration with Wally's lack of progress, stating that he has been mentoring him for over a week and is still useless.

Dilbert then suggests promoting Wally to Vice President, despite his poor performance, as a way to keep him motivated. However, he wonders if this might be a bad idea in the long run.
