the boss's family sometimes makes an appearance in the strips, and are frequently presented as being as incompetent as he is. in 1998, the boss's son, who hid in the attic for four years instead of attending college, was hired for the company and made vp of marketing due to his complete lack of knowledge. in the july 10, 2003 strip the boss receives a phone call (presumably from his current or ex-wife) telling him that while he was working his children grew up and moved away, which the boss reflects as being his most successful plan ever. in the december 28, 2003 strip, the boss's wife was hired as a receptionist for the company. (this would be at least his third wife, as in the may 22, 2001 strip he tells alice that he got his first and third wives using the "bait-lube-and-switch trick". a wife with hair unlike his appears on april 7, 1994, and a different pointy-haired wife appears on february 13, 2010.) on august 31, 2012, the boss's daughter appeared, a late teenager disparaged by her father for wanting to study visual and performing arts and clearly smarter and more open-minded than him. the boss's wife, son, and daughter all share his trademark pointy hairstyle, as do many managers in the comic strips. dilbert was also once asked to interview the phb's nephew for a position. he listed his work experience as "bowling" (because, although he'd only bowled once, the balls were heavy and it felt like work), and contrary to dilbert's suggestion (to have him whacked), the phb made him dilbert's new boss. it was revealed in one strip that the boss' mother calls him at work every monday to loudly swear and insult him. the pointy-haired boss finds pointy hair as a positive and attractive feature, and often judges people based on the pointiness of their hair, such as when he promoted an employee named ted because of a pointy "beard" that was growing on his forehead, or when he became attracted to alice because she styled her hair like his. the phb also has a brother named phil, the ruler of "heck" (a subsidiary of hell). in the animated series, the boss is seen driving an suv that resembles a third-generation mitsubishi pajero. in the series the boss shows blatant favoritism for wally.

section::::history.:amc (1938–66).









































associated motor cycles (amc) was formed in 1938, as a parent company for matchless and ajs motorcycles. amc later (postwar) absorbed francis-barnett, james, and norton. in 1941 matchless motorcycles introduced telescopic front forks called "teledraulic" forks, considered by some to be the first major innovation in british front suspension in 25 years.









































during the second world war, matchless manufactured 80,000 g3 and g3l models for the armed forces. by 1956 they had eight models in their line up, but the number had dwindled in 1965. the g3l was the first to feature the "teledraulic" front forks.
