WikiName for "Dilbert" which is a comic strip by ScottAdams and distributed in USA by UnitedFeaturesSyndicate, Inc. ---- ''Cubicle dwellers sell their souls. At cost.'' Dilbert is an engineer for an unnamed dysfunctional company, with a clueless PointyHairedBoss who picks up every fad that comes by, but understands none. His coworkers are slackers, backstabbers, and paranoids. His dog, DogBert, is an evil consultant. As of 9 Jan 2003, the latest fad for the PointyHairedBoss is ExtremeProgramming. Should be very painful for DilBert. http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/6639/4255/1600/158066/dilbert200611195199.jpg ---- See also: * http://www.dilbert.com/ official HomePage with daily ComicStrip. * http://dwlt.net/tapestry/dilbert.rdf RSS link to the Dilbert strip.
