Summary:

The comic strip features Dilbert, a bespectacled man with a distinctive hairstyle, seated at a table with a woman who is holding a menu. The woman presents Dilbert with a menu and asks if he would like to order anything. Dilbert responds by requesting $35 worth of food, including a 15% tip, and specifically asks for penne pasta.

However, the woman informs Dilbert that she cannot fulfill his request for penne pasta, as she is not capable of building a log cabin on his plate. Dilbert is perplexed by this response and asks if they have a situation here. The woman's response is unclear, leaving the reader to wonder what she means by "we have a situation here." The comic strip ends with Dilbert looking confused and the woman standing over him, still holding the menu.
