IF YOU HADN'T INVENTED IT, SOMEONE ELSE IN THE COMPANY WOULD HAVE.

THAT MEANS YOUR NET CONTRIBUTION WAS ZERO.

LEGS GETTING STIFF. ..

LOSING CONSCIOUS NESS!

Comic Strip Title: "The Fainting Goat"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 2012, revolves around Dilbert's work product, which drives most of his earnings. However, his boss is not impressed, suggesting that someone else in the company would have invented it if Dilbert hadn't. Dilbert becomes frustrated and loses consciousness, prompting a colleague to call him "the fainting goat." The comic strip humorously highlights the challenges of working in a corporate environment and the absurdities that can arise when individuals are not recognized for their contributions.
