The comic strip featuring Dilbert® turns 30 years old today! For the first 24 years, Dilbert wore his signature upturned red-and-black striped tie almost every day. Beth gave me this tie three years ago. I really enjoy following Scott Adams' highly philosophical portrayal of life in the business/engineering world, and I urge you to bookmark https://dilbert.com for your daily amusement. (I am aware of Scott Adams' conservative political views, and I disagree strongly with many of his personal opinions, but he seems to have built a very effective wall separating the humor he finds in organizational incompetence from his analysis of politics and economics in general. In some recent blog entries he has even defended Bernie Sanders against the criticism that he is an extreme socialist.)
