Characters

Most characters in the strip correspond with different Dilbert characters.

Fun Facts

• The line "everything is awesome", from the first panel in method #3, was previously used in the email little animal.
• In the Dilbert comic on December 5th, 2004, Dilbert helps the Boss change his password. It corresponds to the one in 4 branches.
• In Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene, the storyboard is made in the same style as Dullard comics are, but stars caricatures of Strong Bad and Coach Z.
