Jess doesn't know yet that in the Funkyverse, dreams are illusions of the young. A grudging tolerance of your own continued survival is the only thing that's real.

I'm rather surprised that "beefing" was slang back in 1929.

I do at least appreciate that the police have about the same opinion of Dilbert's argument as we do. Could this mean that we're moving out of the Groucho Marx comedy land where Dilbert insults everyone to their faces and nobody notices?

Dilbert from prison, using the sort of "from lived experience" humor that the early strip used could be pretty good!

e: oh god he's going to represent himself because he's IRREFUTABLE LOGICMAN and his defense is going to amount to "but my coworkers are soooo booooring" and the judge is going to dismiss the case and then a parade, cash prize, eternal obsidian monument, I kill myself, etc

I'm hoping for an unironic sovereign citizen defense. I'd say 'only it actually succeeds', except it's so terrible I'm not sure it'd work even in fiction.

Equally likely: he adjusts the device so that everyone else vanishes from his sensorium and he justifies the jail cell as objectively the best place to be because he, the only real person, is in it; i.e., he turns it off and continues living as normal.

I know this is going to be all involved and go on for weeks, but the answer here is, "Sorry, I wish I could but I have to go to my wife's art gallery opening tonight. You should check out the gallery sometime soon. We'd both be happy to take you and show you around. Good luck with the lecture! I'm sure it will be great!"

It wouldn't be surprising if this wasn't his first go-round with the boosters' club. To be fair, that'd wear the veneer off of anybody.
