That site may be up but I don't see any content on it.

I just looked and am seeing all the usual stuff.

Unless that was supposed to be commentary.

No, I saw nothing other than the framework, no content, posts, etc. It
must depend on some site/IP Address that I have blocked as a malicious site.

Seems to be a DNS failure one way or the other. Or maybe Dogbert

Has been for a few days.

I found an alternate yesterday, but that puts up so many full-screen
ads that I will not trouble anybody with the URL.

I'm not troubling myself with it either. I will be deprived of Dilbert
for the duration, I guess.

Also, the official Doonesbury site has been saying:

The requested service is temporarily unavailable. It is either
overloaded or under maintenance. Please try later.

for the same timeframe.

Is some evil force sucking all the humor off the Internet?

In article <tlgc31$481$1...@gioia.aioe.org>,
Hmm, interestingly today's strip is almost the gimmick in an
old Analog story. (Although "The Matrix" is hte more obvious
reference to be sure).

Amazingly, I managed to be among the earlies to access GC when it came
back up. The Breaking Cat News folks are giddy with relief.
