Comic Strip Title: "Lost in the System"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1994, depicts a humorous scene at a trade show. The main character, Dilbert, is shown scanning a vendor when he is suddenly caught in a tractor beam. As he is pulled away, he exclaims, "I'm caught in a tractor beam!" and "Red alert!" However, his colleague, Dogbert, responds with a sarcastic comment, "Losing life support systems... and it can even calculate fractions!"

The strip pokes fun at the idea of technology taking over and the absurdity of a situation where someone is caught in a tractor beam at a trade show. The use of science fiction elements adds to the comedic effect, making it a lighthearted and entertaining read.
