Due to AnimalJingoism this qwould certainly make sense, especially since the only known time they met each other. Dogbert ordered Bob to give Catbert a fur wedgie...in fact if there was a movie based off of Dilbert this war would probably be important to the plot.

[[WMG: Dilbert works for the [[TheInvisibles Outer Church]].]]
The company is an evil megacorp that regularly employs demons, [[EldritchAbominations eldritch horrors]], and seems to take an active roll in crushing creativity and the human spirit. Dilbert is one of the minor drones working for the Outer Church, and their branch is so completely incompetent that the Invisibles haven't bothered crushing it yet.

[[WMG: Dilbert works for [[WerewolfTheApocalypse Pentex]].]]
Similar to the above WMG, Pentex is an evil corporation that regularly uses elder horrors from beyond the void to achive it's goals of achieving universal annihilation. Wally is possibly even a Formor, with his completely inhuman nature.

In 'Ethics' Loud Howard points out that he always votes for the tallest politician, believing that they will inevitably be the most successful. Now, [[{{InvaderZim}} what other race idolizes tall people?]] This explains some of his strange quirks and beliefs.

[[WMG: Wally is [[Seinfeld George Costanza]]]]
They have the same hair style and the same glasses and generally the same attitude on life. It's unknown why George decided to change his name, but it's possibly part of a zany scheme to get hired after spending a year in jail. He's figured out that everything he does is basically doomed to failure, so solves this problem by never doing ANYTHING.

The Dilbert universe is what the future ''{{Peanuts}}'' universe would have been like. Charlie Brown would eventually grow up and work for a company that neither cared or appreciated him. He still is rejected by women and has terrible luck, despite what a nice guy he is. Snoopy would eventually grow hardened and cynical, discarding his life of idle imaginings and instead dedicating himself to conquering the world. Alice is Lucy, while Wally is Schroeder, who neglected his talents and wasted his life instead of achieving his full potential. Ratbert is Woodstock (he could fly in one strip), Ted the Generic Guy is Shermy and Asok is Rerun. As for Linus? The Garbageman, of course.

* Support for this series comes from [[http://www.dilbert.com/strips/comic/2010-06-02/ a recent strip]], where two of the three categories for possible names for the new product are "funnier nicknames for partnerless loving" anda related "general area of the human body." So they may very well sell vibrators.

* I always thought that this would be in the cards should Scott Adams ever decide to pair up his characters. Which he wouldn't, but if he did I assumed it would pretty much have to go that way. Maybe Dilbert would end up with [[OppositesAttract Tina]] -- there was even an arc in the strip in which she had a crush on him and [[ObliviousToLove he didn't notice]]. And the [=PHB=] and Carol are [[NoExit practically already married]].

* I always liked the idea of Wally and Tina ending up. There have been a couple of strips that could be interpreted with no dialogue or mannerism changes to show that they have crushes on one another. It'd be cute and also an entertaining mismatch, considering how Tina sees imaginary sexism everywhere and how sexist Wally actually is.

[[WMG: The Garbageman is an [[KingdomHearts eighth Princess of Heart]]]]
A male one, obviously, but the only title we've been given for that condition is feminine. A logical extension of the above guess.




to:

* There ''was'' a storyline, very early on, where Dilbert was killed by Mother Nature as an example; demonic stuff and hellish work conditions didn't show up until afterwards. Presumably, his "revival" shown on-panel was actually his arrival in Hell.

** A vainglorious, megalomaniacal man, long since dead, sent down to hell and twisted into the shape of a common dog. He can still speak and think rationally, and he must forever live with the knowledge that he is no longer even a man - only a domesticated animal, constantly subservient to humans. He aspires to rule Hell, but must always give up power when it is reach, as part of his punishment.

* The pay's pretty good.
* The hours are good (assuming he's a morning person).
* He gets to talk to a good cross-section of the population.
* He enjoys it.
Seriously. Time, funds, people to educate and talk to, so as to avoid stagnation...it's a pretty good deal.
