The perfect cartoon. Is Dilbert a person?

I saw this in The Nation this morning. If you're writing about what a person is, you might enjoy it. 

The daily Dilbert cartoon as published in the Nation, September 30, 2008

    In the 2nd panel, Dilbert suggests that Elbonian's see non-Elbonians as cattle, not persons.

    Dilbert's new supervisor, the cow, is walking into the 3rd panel, so Dilbert's implication that being cow is a lowly, thing might not go down too well.
    When people "get off on the wrong foot", they start off on bad terms in a new relationship. Cows have hooves, not feet.

    Is the cow a person?
    Is Dilbert a non-person?

    And is he in serious trouble with his new supervisor?
