It will be very interesting to watch the development of this one

I have a little voice in my head telling me Adams was speaking with a boatload of irony. :smokin 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.

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.

I've never got the humour in that strip.
