You aren't seeing reruns of Dilbert comics this week. You did indeed see the coffee-swilling beaver saying exactly what he's saying in those comics, but you saw it here in this blog, as I described my process for making those comics.
You saw the punchline but not the whole comic until now.
See how rumors get started?
Must have more beaver.... coffee optional

I think the beaver not returning the pencil is one of the best I've seen in a while.
The beaver one about "when I watch you... time stands still" is good too. Similar to the episode of Futurama where Fry drinks so much coffee that time stands still (allowing him to rescue all his friends from a burning fire), or when that crazy squirrel from Over the Hedge drinks a can of Jolt! like soda... time stands still...
Man... that joke never gets boring.

The famous comic Peanuts is doing reruns. They think no one will notice but I notice it.
Posted by: Kent | August 19, 2007 at 12:37 PM
I'm not going to lie I honestly thought it was a rerun. This post was a well timed reminder.

Scott,
Is this the same coffee-drinking beaver from many years ago or is he just a close relative?
Posted by: Ryan | August 18, 2007 at 08:01 PM
So maybe we can have the coffee swilling beaver be as violent as Alice?? As in a big womping slap with its tail.
And for you pervs out there talking about shaving that beaver .. THAT was funny :) but can you imagine all the nicks and cuts because of the shaking??
Hey wait! That vibrating beaver reminds me of this joke!!
I'll leave you with this little story ...
******************************************************
A little old lady, well into her eighties, slowly enters the front door of a sex shop. Obviously very unstable on her feet, she wobbles the few feet across the store to the counter.
Finally arriving at the counter and grabbing it for support, stuttering she asks the sales clerk, “Dddooo youuuu hhhave dddddiilllldosss?”
The clerk, politely trying not to burst out laughing, replies, “Yes we do have dildos. Actually we carry many different models.”
The old woman then asks, “Dddddoooo yyyouuuu ccaarrryy aaa pppinkk onnee, tttenn inchessss lllong aaandd aabboutt ttwoo inchesss ththiickk…aaand rrunns by bbaatteries?”
The clerk responds, “Yes we do.”
She asks, “Ddddooo yyoooouuuu kknnnoooww hhhowww tttooo
Ttturrrnnn ttthe fffuuucckkinnnng thiiinnnng offffff?”

Please release some merchandise featuring the Coffee Swilling Beaver! Like, a shirt or something. Or a mouse pad. Or a silly bookmark.

Posted by AC: "I don't know if you have any pull with dilbert.com, but they should really do an RSS feed with the comics (like they do emails, including the comic itself in the feed)."
----
A third party has already done this, for the latest few days of strips:

Someone else wrote a Vista gadget which displays the strips from the feed:

I got wallpapering fog twice and didn't get the beaver hire strip sent to me.

The best way to weed out the Induhviduals is to start posting by Roman Numeral.

These sorts of rumors are only spread by people with bad memories.
I love the Coffee Swilling Beaver!
Yesterday I was considering pretending to have psychic powers to someone who had not seen this blog, by predicting today's comic.
Then they would believe in my ineffable power and give me money, which I would waste on inflatable plastic hamburgers. Then I would predict the stocks and they would lose all their money and stab me in my sleep with a Bic pen until my muscles collapsed from over-clicking.

Yay!!! The Beaver is here! The Beaver is Here!
(still just as nuts the previous posts - make it stop!)
HA!HAHOO_HOO_HEE_HEE_(snort!)

Oh right, you're complaining about being exposed to beaver...AGAIN!
There's your next big comic strip right there. Some get cleaver on it and go to Scott for publication advice, quick!

Thirty-first post!!!!!!!!!!!! BOOOOOOYAAAAAHHHHH!

I find it rather amusing when people are all excited about being the first poster, and then come in 17th or so. But not the ones that are timid about it.
Timid: First Post?
Excited: FIRST POST! In your face! Booyah!
I think anyone claiming first post should be moderated and relegated to the rank of induhvidual. No DNRC first posters!

Coffee- Swilling Beaver!?
So, I take it you've met my ex-wife.
Posted by: Jim | August 18, 2007 at 04:42 AM
Ahhhhh! Understanding. Thanks, Scott.
Posted by: Rich | August 18, 2007 at 04:27 AM
Two reasons for "Dilbert Reruns" rumours occurring on the same day?
What a bizarre coincidence!
::points towards Scott's recent bloggings::

When will the beaver get shaved?
Posted by: Phil | August 18, 2007 at 03:33 AM
But you did use some very similar comics a few months ago, also with the same punchline.
Posted by: Stuart Booth | August 18, 2007 at 02:38 AM
what sort of half-wit can't keep track of what comics he/she has seen and where he/she saw them?
I sometimes wonder if people are taking their comic reading seriously enough!?
Posted by: tony | August 18, 2007 at 02:28 AM
Hate the beaver, have it killed, skinned and hung up in Ashoks cubicle .... :)

For a second I thought it was a rerun, but then I realized that I'm part of Scott Adams's extra-priveleged blog audience.
