Dear All,

To those of you who may be disappointed by the sudden exclusion of Dilbert from the Comics Forum, my explanation is that, having read the legal terms on www.Dilbert.com, I realised that the posting of the comic here is not permitted until I receive written permission to do so.

With that understanding, I am writing to the owners of Dilbert today, to ask permission to continue posting the strip. Fingers crossed...

Cheers.

Nice one Gypseyman, Not a huge fan I must admit, but it's good your doing things 'by the book'. :thumb:

Sadly, no luck here either. :(

They make me wait for two weeks, then tell me that £50 a week would probably cover it..! :eek:

I'm off to buy a lottery ticket. If I win, you get the strip back. But until then, I'll be like GServo and try to find you guys some indies to run (who like the publicity and don't mind their material being reprinted elsewhere :p )

Sorry for the loss, though.
