History WMG / Dilbert

[[WMG:Dogbert is [[FightClub Dilbert's split personality]]]]

*** Everyone saw [[FightClub Tyler Durden]] also.

* ...damn it, now I want to make a ''Webcomic/{{Jack}}'' crossover.

** Don't forget Mordac, summoning the [[MillenniumBug [=Y2K=]]] Demon. In fact, Mordac even sounds like the name of a demon.

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.

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.

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.

Garbageman is too nice to kill Dilbert and steal back his old life, and lets face it, he has much more satisfying life as an anonymous garbageman, anyway.

This is pretty obvious, really. The entire world is a beaurocratic, oppressive nightmare. The Company is filled with psychotic monsters. The StatusQuoIsGod - anyone who is promoted or fired eventually returns to normal (Asok, most recently acquired of the damned, has been a naive intern for excess of five years). The main characters (the damned) are twisted personifications of the Seven Deadly Sins - Wally is slothful, Alice is wrathful, Dogbert is prideful. Dilbert is more or less a husk of a person, constantly downtrodden, rejected socially and continually mocked and tortured in business. He used to have hobbies, but as his time in Hell has gone on, his home is featured less and less, as he is slowly sucked into the Company offices.

Because it explains why they look similiar and why Dilbert has so boring personality.

* No, they make technology. Something to do with computers. That's not to say it isn't of a sexual nature. Nearly all of their products have hole or rod and not much else, and so they could be a producer of computer-linked sex toys.

He came from the future for reasons unknown. For the nitpickers, if Dilbert dies how did he come from the future and then clones himself? Dilbert doesn't die until the Garbageman unintensionally alters the time line by coming to the present. So Dilbert can survive to travel back in time the garbageman clones himself.

* The Garbageman took DNA samples of the garbage outside an All-You-Can-Eat Restraunt. The rubbish had traces of a man's saliva on it. The Garbageman used them to grow Dilbert. He later informed Dilbert's "Father" of this, but instructed him to mislead Dilbert if he ever came searching. Dilbert's "Mom" is an actress hired by the Garbageman. The Garbageman is actually a multi-billionaire {{Mad Scientist}}, who only pretends to be a custodial worker in order to observe his creation every now and then.

* Dilbert's Father is referred to in the comic by both Dilbert and Dilmom. He went to an All-You-Can-Eat restaurant ~20 years ago, and hasn't left because he hasn't eaten all he can eat yet. In the Dilbert cartoon, Dilbert actually braves going back to the mall and gets to see him again for a few minutes.

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.

* Alternately, he's [[AvatarTheLastAirbender the Avatar]].

* Scott Adams has stated that he was worried about getting called racist because of Asok's inevitable flaws (every character in the strip has flaws), so he picked out a small flaw that will go away in time: Asok is naive and inexperienced. He has been that way for years by now.

* Alice has made the Company millions of dollars in cash over the years and has had over ten patents in her name. The

Due to AnimalJingoism this would 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.

* The theory's {{Jossed}}. In [[http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2000-05-27/ this strip]], Dilbert entions Charlie Brown, meaning the two are in fact separate people.
