Good call on NoScript by the way, thanks IMEI- I'm a huge fan of Firefox, and that's a handly little add-on.

Maybe scott you should go through this http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/what-makes-design-googley.html
And consider the points raised there when designing a UI.

BTW fix this issue with the new website http://dilbert.com/login/?RedirectURL=http://news.yahoo.com/comics/dilbert

Wow illbbax, you really must reflect what general public thinks because I can see all those new phones coming out with less features, while the multi-feature cellular device sales plummet...

I think they should listien to you.

Hi, Thanks for the color and the funny strips!
May I suggest to increase the strip size ?
in B&W size was 600 x 202 px. Now it is 560 x 174. Sometimes it is difficult to understand the joke (for instance the 'stink eye' in May 21st strip).

If you reduced size to spare bandwidth due to color introduction, then I suggest you switch from gif to png.
For instance for May 23rd strip:
"size in bytes" "strip name" "format info"
39861 2920.strip.print.gif GIF image data, version 89a, 560 x 174
34438 2920.strip.print.png PNG image data, 560 x 174, 8-bit colormap, non-interlaced
27679 dilbert2006112680423.gif GIF image data, version 89a, 600 x 202
png was created from 2920.gif using gimp.

According http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngapbr.html compatibility of png is good.
Remark: I don't have adobe flash, thus I get pictures. Its fine!

Regards,

An opinion research company called me one time and asked if I would answer a few questions about cell phones. I agreed. The first question was, "What new features would you like to see in a new phone?" I answered, "Less features." They said "Excuse me?" I said, "Less features. Write it down. I only need my phone for talk/text/saving names/numbers. I don't need it to be an MP3 player, I don't need to browse the web, I don't need to watch t.v. on my phone when I'm driving. Keep it simple. When I buy a phone, I want it to be a phone."

For the love of all that doesn't suck, Scott, please understand the analogy. When I want to read a beloved black and white Dilbert comic strip, as I have since 1995, I go to Dilbert.com, which is gone...hopefully not forever.
