Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in, revolves around a conversation between Dilbert and a vendor. The conversation begins with Dilbert asking the vendor if he can wear a face mask without purchasing a sandwich. The vendor responds that he only wears face masks when serving his customers, not when they're not present. Dilbert then shares a dark tale about a man who suffocated to death after wrapping his head in a plastic wrap to serve as a face mask.

The vendor becomes annoyed and removes the plastic wrap from his sandwich, only to realize it's the same sandwich he had been eating. He then asks Dilbert if the sandwich is the one he had been referring to, and Dilbert responds that it is. The vendor decides to take the sandwich back to his car, where he had a bagged lunch, and is left wondering if the sandwich would have gone to waste if he hadn't removed the plastic wrap.

Overall, the comic strip is a humorous commentary on the absurdity of wearing face masks and the importance of proper waste management.
