Trivia

The name of Dilbert's company, Path-E-Tech Management, comes from the merger of two companies in the first season: Pathway Electronics and E-Tech Management. It is also a play-on-words of the word "pathetic".

The characters of Wally and Alice are based on a couple of Scott Adams real-life former coworkers. Wally comes from a man who wanted to take a generous buyout package from the company Adams worked for - but one for the worst performers. This gave him an incentive to be totally lazy, incompetent and surly. Alice's inspiration was a woman who made two grown men cry.

Dilbert and Dogbert don't have mouths in the comic strip, but the animators needed to give them mouths for their dialog. They compromised by giving them mouths only when they spoke. Since the show went off the air, a mouth has been drawn on Dilbert in the comics, usually to show either surprise, screaming, or anger. (Dogbert, however, continues to be drawn mouth-less.)

It is never revealed, but he uses the alias Eunice when he goes line dancing.According to Scott Adams, he intentionally never gave the Boss a name to make him more identifiable as the reader's (and, in the case of the show, the watcher's) own boss.
