Banned from newspapers!! https://www.tmz.com/2023/02/25/dilbert- ... ip-banned/
Re: "Dilbert" comic strip
It will be very interesting to watch the development of this one
The box that many broadcasters won’t look outside of was made in 1969 and hasn’t changed significantly since.

Re: "Dilbert" comic strip
I have a little voice in my head telling me Adams was speaking with a boatload of irony. 
I'd hardly consider his statement to be a "diatribe", more like an online soliloquy. Authors (or even songwriters!) often have this deviling habit of speaking in the first-person of some spontaneously begotten character.

Re: "Dilbert" comic strip
So here's a question I don't know the answer to 'cuz I don't pick up a newspaper anymore:
Is his strip still funny? Is it still relevant to the toils and troubles of office bureaucracy?
I've been reading commentaries about this in other places. Some say his strip has gone stale.
Let's just say his strip is as funny as it used to be. Should he be banned for things that are not reflected in his strip?
If for example I'm an exemplary worker. But at a bar I'm overheard say something that would not go over well if I said it on the clock. Should I be let go or disciplined at work? I suppose this is the way I look at this Dilbert thing.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it. There's no going back, and we can only go forward before we run out of runway.
Re: "Dilbert" comic strip
I've never got the humour in that strip.
I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.
