I’m trying to find a specific Dilbert cartoon. What I can remember is that it is a few panes essentially saying “Are you going to the deadening?”. Then it’s Dilbert and a couple people looking over a cubicle with a guy letting out an anguished scream. Then suddenly he is happy, with the subtext that he doesn’t care anymore. Can anyone else remember that or have a link to it?

That would have been better if the Numbing was - unknown to Asok - going to be\*his. \*

**aktep** , that was a quick find. There’s another Dilbert strip I’d love to find, but so far I’ve been unable to Google it successfully. Can anyone here find it by my sketchy description?

Some shirt asks Wally for help on a project. Wally says something like, “Sure thing - I just need these facts and figures from you and I’ll turn it right around.” The shirt mumbles something and walks away. Wally says “And that’s the last we’ll see of THAT asshole.”

Anyone remember it?

The search function on [Dilbert.com](http://Dilbert.com) is really good.
