Talk:Elbonia

Who told you about Eastern Europe?
It is mentioned in strip of 02-April-2009 that '...Tiny East European country of Elbonia ...' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.123.22.168 (talk) 17:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

According to Official website, Elbonia is just a Fourth-World country, nothing about Eastern Europe's mentioned there. Thus, I'm removing that bit. Jancikotuc 08:56, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * In, I think, a strip in 1990, Dilbert says that the "tiny east country of Elbonia has abandoned Communism." So I'm putting it back.– Sidious1701(talk &bull; email) 02:31, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

The strip that first mentions Eastern Europe can be found in the compilation "Seven Years Of Highly Defective People", yet Mr Adams' notes in said book on the subject of Elbonia say that he has no specific country in mind. http://www.dilbert.com/strips/comic/1990-04-02 for the comic.

Two things.

 * 1) I think the pic about Volga region should be removed, the rationale as above.
 * 2) According to last Sunday's (21 Jan 2007) strip, Dilbert's employer routinely uses Elbonian Airlines (which The Pointy-Haired Boss referred as a discount airline) for air travel; Alice accused the airline of "list[ing] their destination airports as 'whatever looks soft'," "the meals in the first class are made of anyone who dies in coach," "their entire security screening process involves shouting at each passenger 'Are you Osama bin Laden?!!!'," and accusations of baggage theft.


 * I wonder if Elbonians decided they should have jets, and how did their network sprawn to the entirety of the US. --Samuel CurtisShinichian-Hirokian-- TALK · CONTRIBS 04:22, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
