An interview with Scott Adams, Creator of Dilbert
Clipped to the Drawing Board by Ryan  
We all know Dilbert,  the engineer that has to endure all manner of crazy stuff at work.  But how close is Dilbert to real life?  Find out in this interview with Scott Adams,  the creator of Dilbert,  as well as various other interesting facts. And while you do so I'm sure you'll ponder on whether cubicle life is really as bad as the cartoon makes it out to be.

There's something about people with a last name of Adams and writing humor.  Douglas Adams was also famous for writing humor in a similar vein,  just not so much in an engineering perspective.

It's scary sometimes to think how similar to real life Dilbert is.

I like the comic strip and liked the cartoon too, wish they had made more episodes of the cartoon.
