I start every morning with Dilbert, Family Circus, and a cup of Folgers Crystals.

Yes!

And I have posted a few links around here when they were especially relevant.

As well as taking a few links in to work where so many Dilbert strips are just sooo relevant to our situation at work sometimes.

We so had a Wally, but he left a while ago.

Our boss is just so much like the Pointy-Haired Boss it is not funny.

I'm kinda a Dilbert, as is one of the other guys there.

And we've got a guy who is a bit of an Asok, albeit from a different country.

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

The best Dilbert comics are the modified ones featured in a Leisure Town strip.

Every day reader here.  I also follow his blog.  Great stuff and I agree with a lot his viewpoints in general.  I also have read a couple of his books.  I enjoy his sense of humor.  I admire his ability to take mundane, everyday situations and turn them into something humorous.  He has some classic quotes that are so true they aren't even funny, just incredibly accurate and astute.

I am slowly turning into Wally, because I live by a belief of little to no emotional investment in my job, and I look for ways to not work and be honest about it.  I call them side projects.

I used to follow the animated podcasts too, but they stopped a while ago.

Anyone know anything about those?

Where do you all read them?

I used to read them when working in a library like 6 years ago, but well that was 6 years ago... That thing is so damn good!

I had the DILBERT desk calender on my desk at my previous job.  Every time I came to a comic featuring Wally, I pinned it to the wall of my cubicle.  Needless to say, I pretty much wallpapered my entire cubicle with DILBERT comics.

I THINK A CHARACTER NAMED "WALLY" WOULD BE A GOOD CHOICE FOR "WALL" PAPER.
