Updated 'Dilbert' Site Lets You Write Your Own Punchlines

by Terrence O'Brien on April 22, 2008 at 08:03 PM


Many out there repeatedly lie to themselves and say "I could do that" when reading a comic strip. One of the most popular strips to inspire this me-too-ism is Scott Adams tales of cubicle drudgery and middle management absurdity, Dilbert.

Mr. Adams and United Media have re-launched the Dilbert Web site, and one of the most striking features is the new mash-ups section that allows you to write your own punchline to today's Dilbert strip. Eventually, United Media plan to let visitors re-write the entire strip -- not just the punch line -- and extend this feature to all past Dilberts.

In addition to the new mash-up section, the Dilbert archives have been greatly expanded. Until now, the archives only stored the last 30 days worth of Dilbert cartoons, but now the archives reach all the way back to 2001 and will eventually reach all the way back to the comic's launch in 1989.
