Doctorate in what: nonsensical gibberish?

1.)Now I'm confused. Do not all these characters hate their jobs, their company, their boss? I would think the "survivors" would envy the "dead".
2.)Despite the excremental state of the economy, Adams has demonstrated all these characters has necessary survivor skills to outdo and outperform outside the confines of the company (until deus ex machina intervenes and sucks them back into the Hades that is their bane). Perhaps is Dilbert is an unintentionally greater work than even its creator and its unwitting collaborative readership realize, bordering on supra-Kafkaeske themes and neo-Greek tragedy with absurdist memes and Orwellian dystopian overtones. but with a touch of Terry Gillian innate belief in the ineffable will and drive of the dream of the common man.

Now where's MY doctorate, g-o-d-d-a-m-m-i-t ?

This is the first time I have seen Wally smile!

I wonder where this comic's direction will go when it becomes obvious that our economy has tanked to the degree that these currently celebrating peons will be out in the streets, in the same boat as last week's overqualified temp?

By the way, Asok apparently has great recovery powers, seeing as of last Friday he looked like death warmed-over.
