Ah, markup doesn't work, I see. A preview would have cleared that up.

'In the second frame, Dilbert should say, "Ted is the only one who knows anything about that and he is on vacation." You didn't need the comma due to the subject NOT changing, Scott.'
Commas in speech represent PAUSES, not changes of subject.
'In the last frame, Dilbert might say, "Forgive me for my efficiency." Five syllables vs. three. My version is more succinct, too.'
Scott's version is _funnier_.
And there's already a character that everyone knows is a pushover and who helps anyone who needs help. He's <i>AT THIS MEETING</i>. Can you spot him?

If you have the time, any chance you can develop a NEW character who DOESN'T use the word "I" nor is he as egotistical as everyone else? He rubs everyone else the wrong way due to this, and none of them can understand why he is so irritating to them. You could make him Christ-like in that he sacrifices everything he has to help ANYONE else around him who needs ANY help. He is likely to give up his funding, his weekends, and his car, for example. No one HATES him per se, but everyone KNOWS he is a pushover.
