The new Web 2.0 format is almost universally loathed.

Out of punch lines

Why would anyone think Joe (Wally?) Cubicle is going to come up
with more entertaining punch lines than Scott Adams? The world is
already full of narcissists. Do we honestly need to see how their
minds work via vast email webcasts?

Can't Draw, Can't Write

With a barely working concept back when it first started, Adams
asked readers to email their cubicle stories which he turned into
the central theme in Dilbert. Workers did. Corporations stayed
the same. Adams got rich. Now he doesn't even want to bother
to write the punch line? On a new web site design that's going
backward in simple UI usability? A true Web 2.0 comics site
would let the users to create the entire story and art on a wiki
enabled site, but that true appreciation of technology,
engineering, and readership is not what Dilbert is about at all.
The typical Dilbert strip has descended down to the
entertainment value of installing Vista. Adams should just hang
it up.
