The Cranky PM loves Dilbert. Shocking, isn’t it?
As a gift to the Internets (and to anyone making a speech about product management), help the Cranky Product Manager create a list of links to Dilbert cartoons* that are funny to product management types.
Untack those comics from your cubicle wall, look at the dates, and find them in this multi-year archive of the black & white Dilberts. (Alas, the CPM can’t find an archive of the Sunday color Dilberts. Anyone know where they are?) Then, post the link in the comments. Please?
Here’s the CPM’s partial list. Please help her complete it.

- March 21, 2003 – “I’ll design the system as soon as you give me the requirements.”
- March 22, 2003 – “I can’t start the project because the user won’t give me his requirements.”

* The CPM will not be posting the actual comics, since that’s a copyright violation, you ingrates with no respect for the work of artistes.
