Dilbert by Scott Adams is the most photocopied, pinned-up, downloaded, faxed and e-mailed comic strip in the world. Dubbed "the cartoon hero of the workplace" by The San Francisco Examiner, Dilbert has been syndicated since 1989 and now appears in 2,000 newspapers in 65 countries and 25 languages.
Dilbert Classics allows you the luxury of pushing the reset button with us, taking the iconic strip back to its first frames. Starting from the beginning and running each strip in succession from its first day of circulation, join in on the genesis of these stories. We're going to the days of fax and dial-up Internet connection frustration, people!

“The illusion is complete; it is reality, the reality is illusion and the ambiguity is the only truth. But is the truth, as Hitchcock observes, in the box? No there isn’t room, the ambiguity has put on weight.” – Monty Python

“The tube sock of inventors”! Wow? Dogbert is right: ambiguity rules!

Tubesocks are really kind of cool. Why have heels? What’s the point?

Never ask Dogbert a question. The answer will be a put-down or weird.

I understood “the tube sock of inventors” as a perfect expression of mediocrity – not useless, but not remarkably valuable. Also, you can probably pick up Dilberts in six-packs at Walmart…

It’s ambiguous. For all we know Dogbert could as well think that Dilbert is gifted, while having some reasons for not wanting Dilbert to know he really sees him as ingenuous. The joke, then, is on us, who believe we got to decipher Dogbert’s comment. Tube socks are ambiguous.

@Chris Kenworthy
Mediocrity would have been intended if Dogbert had said “the inventor of tube socks”, which he didn’t.

Nice line, you should get a patent.
