In a prior Newsletter, I said that Dilbert would “get lucky” if my Weasel book became a New York Times Best Seller. Sales immediately plummeted, in what will someday be hailed as the worst idea of the century. Some people objected to the idea on moral grounds. Most readers objected on the grounds that they didn’t want the most famous loser in history to have better romantic luck than they have. I can understand that: If Dilbert is doing better than you are, that’s gotta sting.
So I hereby take back the offer. Dilbert will remain as unsatisfied as you.
