Summary:

The comic strip features a conversation between two characters, Dilbert and a coworker, in an office setting.

When the coworker inquires about the source of this motivation, Dilbert replies that he saw his coworker's motivation anywhere, but it was not visible to him. The coworker is confused and asks if Dilbert missed it, to which Dilbert responds that he did. The comic strip is a humorous commentary on the lack of motivation in the workplace.
