In view of his subsequent martyrdom, his penitence and reconciliation with the Bozos, it came to be said that he was a true hypnocratic missionary to Bololand. Dilbert defected from the Bozos and lived for a season with the Bolos. At one time the Bozos staged a raid on the Bolo provisions at one time the Bolos staged a raid on the Bozo provisions.
