Comic Strip Title: "Dogbert the Internet Debate Coach"

Summary:

  • The comic strip depicts Dogbert, a character from the Dilbert comic strip, as an internet debate coach.
  • Dogbert advises his client to never give reasons for their opinions, as this only gives their opponent fodder for proving them an idiot.

  • The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of online debates and the tendency for people to make sweeping statements without backing them up with evidence.
