Trying to find a comic strip about "What your clothes say about you"

Question

I recall a comic strip about the statement that your clothes make, but don't seem to be able to find it. It goes something like this:

Cartoon of a Guy with great hair, smile, and a suit.
Caption: "I'm going places so I won't be here long enough to learn your name".

Cartoon of a Guy in a dirty t-shirt (note mustard stain) and flip flops.
Caption: "I'm the only one who understands the unix system. Worship me".

There were more panels in between but I don't remember them. I think it's a Dilbert strip.

I found it:

Apparently this is from the book Build a Better Life by Stealing Office Supplies: Dogbert's Big Book of Business - many thanks to @Carmeister for knowing this!

How I found it: a Google image search for comic strip unix "clothes say" about you (note the quotes) led me to this page. Having found the image, I tried searching for an exact quote but found almost no results, probably because Google doesn't index text found in images like this.

This is closer than anything I've found. Could have sworn there was a mark labeled "mustard stain". Nice work. – candied_orange Nov 09 '19 at 21:06

I recognize this comic. I'm almost sure it's from this book, but I don't have it handy to check. – Carmeister Nov 10 '19 at 02:31

@candied_orange The fact that the last guy's caption was exactly, word for word except "unix", the same as what you said in the question - that was enough to convince me. Unless this is lifted from another comic with the same wording but more detailed pictures. – Rand al'Thor Nov 10 '19 at 07:58
@Carmeister yep that's the book. Thanks! – candied_orange Nov 10 '19 at 08:26
