When the cartoonist who did "Calvin & Hobbes" was retiring, the local fishwrap decided to have a contest to see what cartoon would replace C&H...out of the five they had in the poll, Dilbert seemed destined to place 6th...and the damn thing won!

I remember thinking "How lame can you be and still get paid to draw?"

Now, it's the only thing that I'd waste money on buying off the rack...some papers have gone so far as to put Dilbert on the Opinion Page along side of Doonsebury and Non-sequitor...

BTW, I still won't buy our local fishwrap...only if it's free or the paper is from Mpls/St.Paul...there's a paper worth the money...and it has about 4 x's the news compared to what we have spooned to us...

Our local bird cage liner, the Hartfod Courant, resorted to putting it in their business section in a desperate attempt to get readers to go there (and read the latest AP wire stories).
