As it turns out, economic collapse benefits at least one oppressed office worker. Dilbert, the iconic cartoon character who represents the crushed souls and wrecked dreams of so many cubicle dwellers, is having a banner year.
In February, dilbert.com handled 1.5 million unique visitors, among the busiest of months in the site's history. Maybe that's because lately the strip's stories of pointed-haired bosses, corporate gobbledygook and naked incompetence feel like chicken soup for our downsized souls.
As we prepare to celebrate next month's 20th anniversary of "Dilbert," cartoonist Scott Adams explains why bad times are so good for Dilbert.
