When did the comic strip Dilbert switch from parodying business to parodying government?

I think that Scott Adams, the artist who draws Dilbert, may have been influenced by all the news of Hillary's mishandling of classified documents.

That could very well be.

I believe it has always parodied bureaucracy, and the overlap is massive.

Scott Adams is a pretty vocal Trump supporter.

And government tends to be a parody of itself.

Actually my first thought was of the sand box. One could go just outside the FOB and find hundreds of flash drives, some still containing sensitive data, in the bazaars.

I think Dilbert was always more of a parody of the government.

Elbonia has been around forever. Remember when they were trying to buy nukes? Hilarious.
