YOUR IDEA WON T WORK BECAUSE OTHERS HAVE ALREADY TRIED IT AND FAILED.

OTHERS HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT THINGS THAT SIMPLY REMIND YOU OF MY IDEA.

I MEAN, YOU REMIND ME OF A RODENT, BUT THAT DOESN'T PROVE YOU LIKE CHEESE.

I LOVE CHEESE.

  • Dilbert is skeptical at first, but the coworker's enthusiasm and confidence in the idea eventually win him over.
  • The coworker's use of cheese as a metaphor to describe the idea's appeal is humorous and memorable.
  • The strip pokes fun at the tendency to dismiss new ideas based on past failures, highlighting the importance of considering unconventional approaches and the power of persuasion.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
