** The comic was losing momentum even before its cancellation strip. The humor got meaner while Dilbert lost his OnlySaneMan status and became more of a drone in line with Wally so that the PHB could go from being a clueless buffoon to a beleaguered leader who has to harangue his workforce into being productive.

By Adams's account, many of the early comics were based on stories and jokes he received from fans when asking for comic ideas on the early Internet, suggesting their own attitudes leaking into the comic to a degree.
