• Dilbert's Existence Proof: Dilbert claims to have created a mathematical proof of God's existence, which he offers to share with his coworker.
• Coworker's Skepticism: The coworker is skeptical of Dilbert's claim and asks him to provide evidence of his existence.
• Dogbert's Intervention: Dogbert, who is sitting at Dilbert's feet, interrupts the conversation and claims that he is the one who has been doing all the work.
• Dilbert's Admission: Dilbert admits that Dogbert is correct and that he has been relying on his dog's assistance.
• Coworker's Confusion: The coworker is left confused by the exchange and asks if Dogbert exists.

• Conclusion: The comic strip ends with the coworker looking puzzled and Dilbert and Dogbert walking away together, leaving the reader to ponder the nature of existence and reality.

Overall, the comic strip pokes fun at the idea of mathematical proofs and the concept of existence, highlighting the absurdity of the situation and the cleverness of Dogbert's response.
