Dilbert says to Dogbert, "I made a super hero suit for myself." Dogbert asks, "Why?" Dilbert puts the suit on as he says, "You never know when you might accidentally acquire super powers. It happens all the time." Dilbert, who is now wearing a suit with a cape and a letter "D" on the front, continues, "This way, my identity can remain a secret." Dogbert says, "I suddenly see why that's so important."
The caption says, "Bitten by a radioactive dung beetle, Dilbert waits to see if he will acquire any super powers." Dilbert sits on a chair wearing a super hero suit. Dogbert sits next to him. The caption says, "But what kind of powers could you get from a bug who lives in dung?" Dilbert sits in his chair. Dogbert asks, "Feel anything yet?" Dilbert replies, "Just a wicked urge to enter politics."

"Welcome to Dogbert's catch-and-release CEO seminar." "Catch-and-release is more than a way to hurt fish for entertainment." "It's a philosophy that will inform your entire life." "For example, when you acquire a new company, wait a few years and then spin it off." "When you catch a new spouse, wait a few years and then set it free." Boot! "When you golf, hit that ball into a hole and then take it out." "Your ultimate goal is to look decisive without making any real decisions." "Good seminar. It makes fishing more fun when you know it hurts them!" "Ouch!"
