Dilbert recursivo

Esto salió en varios lados. A un tipo en los Estados Unidos lo despidieron por colgar esta tira de Dilbert en su lugar de trabajo:



Scott Adams comenzó luego del hecho una serie referente al hecho. El caso fue a juicio sobre el derecho a subsidio de desempleo, tengo entendido que el ex-empleado ganó, según lo que lei por ahi... Lo mejor es que el personaje central de la serie es Wally. Wally es lo más!!

Scott Adams dixit:

One of my ongoing problems in the strip is trying to restore things back to their normal Dilbert universe after something dramatic happens, such as a death or firing or company takeover. Today you will learn, if you don’t already know, a literary phrase that describes how lazy authors resolve this sort of thing.

The phrase is “deus ex machina.” It refers to a bad writer’s trick of having some improbable character arrive at the end of a story and conveniently solve all the problems. It’s considered a cop-out. I use it frequently because comics need quick solutions, and I have plenty of improbable characters to choose from. Look for the deus ex machine to help Wally get his job back in the next few days.
