The Z in zeberpupin a veiled reference to the Zen of Wally = the one who is there, but not there. doing that which is not work but is totally necessary to the operation of everything else and is completely beyond understanding. I first saw this strip this morning while having brunch at a local Burger King. My cosiderable laughter got me some weird looks. Best Dilbert I have seen in some time....it made a great start to my Saturday....
PHB was so close to figuring out Wally is deadwood. But then, if that were criteria for getting rid of staff, he and Catbert would be out the door with Wally.
