I love the Dilbert search page. I made my own and typed a lot of strips, but deleted the database without a backup. Doh! Then I found yours. But, the page seems to have issues right now. It's slow to view and usually crashes with an error. Please fix it so I can enter lots of strips!~ Also thanks for making the data easily downloadable. -a Heya! I love the Dilbert search page.

You could probably reformat it to work for you. Also, on dilbert.com you can now view strips all the way back to the beginning. Let me know if you want me to email it to you or something.

Can you help me? It was about a co-worker who stood and talked to someone else, killing time at another co-worker's expense, until it was time for him (1st guy) to either go to lunch or go home. Then he leaves and his victimn has to stay late to get his/her work finished. Since the boss doesn't know from computers, the guy just stands and throws out computing terms in relative nonsense until he's ready to clear out. I think it ran on a Thursday about a year, to two years ago. I'd love to find a copy of it. (He's still doing it)I suggested to Mr. Adams that he make the character very fat, with suspenders, and I think he did. Thanks!

dilbert: i have some disturbing news.

dilbert: we outsourced our customer-service function to india a few years ago.

pointy haired boss: so?

dilbert: apparently, they subcontracted the job to mexico.

dilbert: then mexico sub-contracted to vietnam, who sub-contracted to the philippines…

dilbert: …who subcontracted it to us.

dilbert: it turns out that we’re the lowest cost provider, because we lie about our hold times.

dilbert: in summary, we pay ourselves to hose ourselves.

dilbert: are you thinking what i’m thinking?

pointy haired boss: we should raise our prices?
