I think this condemnation of "Dilbert" is dangerously close to the "workers are ignorant because we watch TV" argument. Sure, "Dilbert" is not written by a revolutionary. In fact, it may indeed be written by somewhat of a cowardly apologist for capital, when he's asked by their presses who control his paycheck. However, the *content* of the comic serves in actual lives of actual workers to generally support dissent and criticism. For a more in-depth view of this terrain in the shared form of popular culture, visit the on-line 'zine from San Francisco, _Disgruntled_ -- http://www.disgruntled.com/ By the way, I read Dilbert everyday on the web -- http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert/ Fight the power, Chris --- from list aut-op-sy-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
