* [[Archive Panic]] - The whole archive is online - 21 years of daily strips - That's more than 7300 comic strips.

'''Loud Howard:''' ''"THEY LOVE ME!"'' }}
** It should be noted that after his first (and for the longest time, only) appearance in the strip Loud Howard was made a supporting character in the cartoon (shouting the obvious works a lot better as a gag in animation) in order to expand the cast. Had Adams not done this it is doubtful the masses would've demanded his return to the strip.
Line 12 ⟶ 10:
** There’s also one about a plane belonging to their Pointed Haired Boss crashing. [http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/1997-09-11/ Dilbert and Wally] debate on rather do should they stay to celebrate with Asok, mourn, or leave early. Bear in mind, this was released on '''September 11, 1997'''… you can guess what happened exactly 4 years later.
* [[Genius Bonus]]: The fable that the Pointy-Haired Boss relates in [http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2008-11-24/ this strip] is traditionally used to explain the [[wikipedia:Scrum (development)|Scrum]] software development methodology. If you're not familiar with Scrum, the strip is still very funny, but if you are, it's clear that the PHB thinks himself clever for using an analogy that he read somewhere else and probably doesn't understand.
* [[Hollywood Homely]]: Alice; a lot of potshots have been taken at her looks.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Dogbert. All the time.
** Wally has his moments, as well.

** Happens rather often. Just read any list of New Century Business Jargon; a lot of it will have come out of Dilbert.
** The term "[[Pointy-Haired Boss]]," aside from being a [[Trope Namer]], is almost ubiquitous (as is the derivative "pointy-haired" as a synonym for "stupid").
* [[Recycled Script]]: The [http://www.dilbert.com/strips/comic/2008-09-18/ September 18, 2008] strip is similar to [http://www.dilbert.com/strips/comic/2007-05-25/ May 25, 2007], except the PHB provides the strip's exposition instead of [[Generic Guy|Ted]]'s thoughts, the [[Your Head Asplode|explosion]] was an indiscretion shot, the PHB doesn't look disheveled in the last panel, and Carol is facing him.

* [[Unfortunate Implications]] - A strip that "aired" a few days after Mother Theresa died that made a joke about dead nuns cushioning falls was poorly received for obvious reasons, [[
** One Sunday strip featured a security guard who secretly raided the employees' hidden snack stashes during the night. Whoever did the colors made him black, which lead to people accusing Adams of this (in the anniversary book, he explains the whole thing while wryly observing that they chose a poor time to diversify the cast).
