I am looking for a specific old Dilbert comic strip, in which he and a
salesman are at a client meeting.  The salesman sells something that
doesn't exist, and states that he is a good salesman and Dilbert is a
bad engineer.  It ends with the salesman suggesting Dilbert take some
night courses.  I found the exact strip I'm looking for, but in some
odd eastern European language.  Is there a way to attach the strip as
reference?

The european version is blurry, but it looks like it says 1997.  Here
is a link to the european version.  I think it is written in Danish.

You could post it to imageshack or the like and then reference it...
If you have it...you should be able to see the date on it..perhaps the
english version is the same date and this would go a LONG way to
tracking it down for you!

For instance, if you visit Dilbert online
(http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/images/dilbert27326860060109.gif)
you will see (you may need to save the image then zoom in) between the
2nd and 3rd panel the date of publication...if this exists on the
European one...you can either track it down that way (your local
library's newpaper archive) or perhaps an online archive of some sort
(though I would assume that Dilbert.com would be the only legal source
of the archives)

Good Luck..



Good Luck.

Hello...

A search at Dilbert.com has come up with 4 hits for the word "karate"
as it appears in the strip you reference and which I assume is NOT a
'Danish' word!!

If you wish to pay 15.95 you can get 6 months access to the complete
Dilbert archives searchable by character speech etc...

Here is the link showing that Karate appears 4 times.

Here is a link to sign up for the Dilbert archives:

Unfortunately I too can't make out the date so you could just get it
at the library but this is ONE solution...

Anyone else?

Good Luck.
