I assume you&#8217;ve all been following the story of the Apple engineer who left a prototype 4G iPhone at a beer garden. I found this story too delicious to resist, but I worried that the story would become stale before my comics would work through the pipeline. I think the soonest I can get something published is in about a month, perhaps a bit sooner, but I&#8217;ve never tested it. <\/p>\n<p>I drew two comics while considering my options. In the end, I thought it wasn&#8217;t worth the extra friction to push them to the front of the line. And it would be June 18<sup>th<\/sup> before they ran in their normal position, which seemed too far in the future. So here now, exclusively for you blog readers, the totally unfinished first drafts of those comics.&nbsp; You will never see these in newspapers.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dilbert.com\/dyn\/tiny\/File\/Lost%20Phone%201%20.jpg?w=987\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dilbert.com\/dyn\/tiny\/File\/Lost%20Phone%202%20.jpg?w=987\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Take a moment to marvel at the fact that I didn&#8217;t need to add anything to the story as it has been told in the media. All it really needed was Wally. I don&#8217;t think any of us will ever know what really happened. I based the comic on the media&#8217;s speculation of events. Remember that I&#8217;m in the parody business and not the truth business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"posterous_quote_citation\">via <a href=\"http:\/\/dilbert.com\/blog\/entry\/thatlost4gphone\/\">dilbert.com<\/a><\/div>\n<p>In case you missed it &#8211; heh<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 10px;\">  <a href=\"http:\/\/posterous.com\">Posted via web<\/a>   from <a href=\"http:\/\/mclasen.posterous.com\/scott-adams-blog-that-lost-4g-phone-04262010-5\">mclasen&#8217;s posterous<\/a>  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That Lost 4G Phone Apr 26, 2010 General Nonsense | Notify Two questions I am often asked: How far in advance do you work?
