Comic Strip Title: "Intuitive Engineering"
Summary:
The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with black hair, engaging in a conversation with an engineer. The conversation begins with Dilbert expressing his lack of understanding of the engineer's work, stating that he doesn't know if the engineer is doing the right things or not.
The engineer responds by saying that he can't watch Dilbert work, as he doesn't know if Dilbert is putting in any effort. Dilbert then asks if the engineer is going to say that he's "totally worthless," and the engineer confirms this, stating that he was going to say that Dilbert is "intuitive."

Overall, the comic strip uses humor to comment on the challenges of communication between different professions.
