Will the new Dilbert be powered by slow electricity?

I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
dirty old man.

Based on the first comic that I saw, there will be four letter words and
Dilbert climbing out of a trash can saying What The Frack. Having potty
words will not make the strip any better.

I tried it this morning.

I got three choices. One was the new Dilbert.

Choosing that brought up ... a different site, in which I have no
interest.

Goodbye Dilber, RIP.

It seems to be not "this is the last Dilbert comic available to the general
public", but "this is the last time *ANY* Dilbert comics will be available
to the general public". For the first statement to be true, the dilbert.com
site would remain with all its content up to yesterday, with no updates,
and *NEW* stuff would be on the new site.

As it is, the entire archive has been memory-holed. Well done Winston Smith.

Book burning was effective before the printing press because there were very few books and it might be possible to find them all.

Book burning will come back when everything is online and it becomes possible to search for and take down web sites everywhere.

We live in that unique period where ideas could go out into the world on their own.

Well, until Scott Adams takes it down it is on Reddit.
https://www.reddit.com/r/dilbert/

However, I suspect that Scott Adams is posting it himself since
tomorrow's Dilbert is already up there.
