A series of three recent Dilbert strips:

(#1)

The pointy-haired boss gets a mission from the CEO

(#2)

The pointy-haired boss gives the mission to Asok

Oops.

Wikipedia on Davis:

James Robert “Jim” Davis (born July 28, 1945) is an American cartoonist, best known as the creator of the comic strips Garfield and U.S. Acres (aka Orson’s Farm), the former of which has been published since 1978 and has since become the world’s most widely syndicated comic strip. Davis’s other comics work includes Tumbleweeds, Gnorm Gnat and Mr. Potato Head.

(In the real world, Davis is still alive.)
