The Yes of Approval

I don't actually have much information on the use of “yes!” as a sentence. The only place I can remember seeing it is in Dilbert, the one where Dilbert falls out the window while practicing his distinctive spinning motion. Clearly this is a reference to something else well known, and I'm just too clueless to know what it is. Unfortunately, searching on the net for “yes” isn't going to help.

I couldn't even locate the particular cartoon I had in mind, but I did find a related one in Shave the Whales.

Dilbert: Yes!

Dogbert: Spike it in the end zone!
