    Heh !

    I thought I would miss Dilbert when the great catastophe struck.

    But, looking at these, I don't find myself missing him at all.

    Dilbert comics were best in the mid and late 1990s.
    I know that from reading the books, not from the daily strip.

    3 or 4 days a week, Dilbert is fairly good. One day a week it is awesome. The other days, blah.

    It has been a year since Scott Adams went offline. I just reupped with my annual subscription for $70. I do really enjoy my daily Dilbert. The other stuff I could leave.

    Wise words, and I agree. But... why did he go offline? I'm not a regular follower but from time to time Dilbert does give me joy.

    Has he mentioned anything to subscribers about new hardcopy strip
    collections
    being in the works?

    Not yet.  He is looking for an editor.

    He also emails a daily calendar strip of Dilberts from 10 years ago.
    They are occasionally awesome too.

    Lynn

    Scott Adams just sent out a book cover to us about republishing one of
    his previous books, "God's Debris".

    Lynn


    An SF novel, apparently.
