* [[Archive Panic]] - The whole archive is online - 21 years of daily strips - That's more than 7300 comic strips.
** You can find them at 49 strips per page [http://www.dilbert.com/strips/?F=1&CharIDs=&ViewType=Full&After=04%2F17%2F1989&Before=07%2F20%2F2009&Order=s.DateStrip&PerPage=49&x=38&y=13&CharFilter=Any here]{{Dead link}}.

* [[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, [[Misblamed|even though, like all syndicated strips, it was written months in advance.]]
