Dilbert cartoons go back a number of years and were around when I worked 
at this company. We had a bulletin board in the coffee room and every 
morning someone would posted the absolute perfect Dilbert cartoon that 
had the same tone and "flavor" that the executives had sent out to the 
company employees for the previous day.

The cartoon was posted sometime between 0600-0700 and would be promptly 
removed by the first executive that entered the building. I was usually 
in the office by 0730 and got to see the daily cartoon board.
