Boss: As you know, our team-building event did not go smoothly. In my defense, I had no way of knowing a class 6 whitewater adventure would be so bumpy. It took me by surprise when Ted fell in. But I'm proud that we came together as a team and agreed to not look for him. It would have ruined our timing for lunch. Anyway, I'm sure Ted swam to safety. Dilbert: Ted doesn't know how to swim. Boss: All in favor of pretending Ted didn't attend the event? Catbert: They didn't have life vests? Boss: You're thinking of the deluxe package.

Comic Strip Title: "White Water Adventure"

Summary:

The comic strip revolves around a team-building event organized by Ted's company. However, things take an unexpected turn when it becomes clear that the event is not what it seems.

Key Points:

• The team-building event is advertised as a "Class 6 White Water Adventure," but it turns out to be a group of people wearing life vests.
• The employees are disappointed and confused by the event, with some expressing their dissatisfaction.
• Dilbert, the main character, is shown to be unimpressed by the event and its lack of excitement.
• The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of corporate team-building events and the often-hollow promises made by companies to boost employee morale.

Overall:

The comic strip uses humor to highlight the disconnect between corporate promises and reality, as well as the absurdity of some team-building activities.
