DILBERT AND BEATTIE BLVD. JOIN COMICS

The Southeast Missourian funny pages just got funnier.

Comic readers will now be able to enjoy a daily dose of humor from two new strips. Debuting in today's paper are Dilbert, a bestselling multi-frame strip by Scott Adams, and Beattie Blvd., a single-frame strip by Bruce Beattie.

Dilbert introduces readers to the misadventures of Dilbert, the poster child for corporate cubicle-dwellers, and Dogbert, his faithful sidekick who wants to rule the world. The strip lampoons corporate America and its trends.

Beattie Blvd. has no regular characters and focuses on bizarre ideas and strange-but-true trends in society.
