The Dilbert Blog is an interesting place. Written be the creator of one of the most popular cartoon characters in the USA. Yet you will not find a single frame of the charater here. If that sounds like a negative it is unintentional. This is a great blog, it tells the reader someting about this great creative mind. Once again I would argue (maybe everyone agrees?) that the point of a blog is some insight to the mind and life of the writer. If you like creative places this is one of the first I’d recomend you visit. For the record it is worth a few bucks
This blog is worth $2,170,091.76.

This is from Scott’s Biography
Scott Adams held, in his words, “a variety of humiliating and low paying jobs” during his eight years at Crocker National Bank and eight years at Pacific Bell. He’s been a bank teller (robbed twice at gunpoint), computer programmer, financial analyst, product manager, commercial lender, budget manager, strategist, project manager and pseudo-engineer. During this time Adams entertained himself during boring meetings by drawing insulting cartoons of his coworkers and bosses. Eventually a bespectacled character named Dilbert emerged from the doodles. In 1988 Adams mailed some sample comic strips featuring Dilbert to the major cartoon syndicates. United Feature Syndicate plucked Dilbert out of thousands of submissions received that year and offered Adams a contract. Dilbert launched in about 35 newspapers in 1989. Adams continued his day job at Pacific Bell until 1995, drawing Dilbert at 5 a.m. everyday before work. Now Adams devotes his entire day (and much of the evening) to Dilbert, He is the co-owner of two restaurants: Stacey’s Café and Stacey’s at Waterford, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Dilbert is published in over 2,000 newspapers, in 65 countries. Adams has 35 books in print – over 10 million sold – including two number-one New York Times best sellers.
