Pointy-haired Boss: Asok, the secret to success is to do what you love and stick to it.
Asok: I like eating bread.
PHB: Exactly! Follow your passion.
Caption box: Six months later
{Asok is extremely fat}
Asok: I tried to follow my passion but it only made me fat.
Dilbert: Bread makes you fat??

The author writes:

This scene (see link below) is one of my favorites of the entire Scott Pilgrim series. It must have been popular with other people as well, since Bryan Lee O'Malley included the same joke in his next graphic novel, Seconds, as a callback.

Sorry about the small font in the last panel, but I copied it directly from the original page, and didn't want to scale it up because it would look bad.

Original Dilbert strips: 2013-04-29, 2013-04-30.

Original Scott Pilgrim dialogue: Taken from page 57 of volume two, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
