@yohannbiimu - I disagree, I think that keeping it relevant and in the context of real life not only makes it more believable (I said MORE believable, I know it's still rather surreal), but adds to its historical significance. If you're a regular on Wikipedia you will probably have seen example of cartoon funnies, especially those from newspapers, as part of contemporary documentation of political events - for example, see the article on Punch magazine.

@dilbertisnotfunny - It's amazing that anyone would take the time to register for an account with the official Dilbert website simply to post their opinion that they don't find Dilbert funny. Why are you here? Do you really have nothing better to do with your time? As for me, I would say that this is one of the least funny I have seen lately, but there are ups and downs. If you don't see the funny side long-term then go somewhere else!
