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.

I don't get the point of this comic,especially the right box. Could anyone explain how it joke?
ReplyDeleteMe too. i really don't understand their joke but i guess that they may try to joke on someone in the government.
ReplyDeleteIn the 2nd panel, Dilbert suggests that Elbonian's see non-Elbonians as cattle, not persons.
ReplyDeleteDilbert'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?
