I think this is bottom of the barrel for this thread, personally. Worse art than Reply All and Chickweed, and the smug humor of Bizarro crossed with the "I forgot to tell a joke" of Working Daze - this strip is an abomination that makes "Oh Baby" look like a masterpiece.

While it is the hand that has a secret, I've always thought it went the other way around and was fully prepared to be all smug. Now look at me, I'm having to link the Bible.

I have to color every daily strip for this, and it's absolutely disgusting to look at and read for a few seconds, much less an hour or however long it takes me to finish a week depending on what he draws. I left the office yesterday and put it off until Monday because I can't.

You know, Crankshaft has been pretty okay recently. That strip would be a lot more tolerable if its main character never showed up again.

So did this guy actually do crimes or is this plot just "this guy is speaking against my pet boy-king so I will assault and kidnap him because that's what heroes do"?

Zanzibar Ham: Mar 17, 2009; You giving me the cold shoulder? How cruel.; Grimey Drawer

Remember that this is the same guy who, without his memories, went into a jail cell for the sole purpose of beating up the people inside. Not to get any information out of them or anything either, he just beat them up for sport. Unnecessary violence is ingrained in his being.

The only good Dilbert character's debut was just as badass as I imagined it would be.

It was 18 degrees out yesterday, not a cloud in the sky. Went for a bike ride in shorts and a t-shirt.

I live in Canada.

I also live in Canada, and we got snow yesterday and it's -5 outside right now.

Gonna go ahead and guess you're on the West Coast, with your warm ocean and your rain forests. Not like us on the East Coast with our bitter cold water and our economic depression.

I've heard the saying before, but I never knew it was from the Bible. I've only ever heard it in the context of bad organisation, meaning two people are working at cross purposes because of a lack of communication.
