It’s a week early for Pi Day (next Saturday, 3/14), but Dilbert has provided us with a nice pie chart.
It does illustrate the unnatural popularity of the genre, don’t you think?
Original at Dilbert comic strip for 03/07/2009 from the official Dilbert comic strips archive.
Thanks to Dermot, who emailed this to me moments before I saw it in my feed reader.

And… “The bar charts show our clients overwhelmingly prefer pie charts.”

March 14 is also Spider Day (National Save a Spider Day). Spider Charts are probably too confusing to be ridiculed by Dilbert.
