All right, I wanted to get back to my phone. So I have the experience when I open my phone. You all know this to be true that Apple makes a big deal about their packaging and they make the experience of opening up your new product, your new iPhone, a sensual, delightful experience. And you don't realize how delightful it is unless you do what I did, which is I bought some accessories. You know a s…

On Monday Dilbert is gonna look a little bit different in your newspaper and you're gonna say to yourself, "Wha, what's going on? Why does Dilbert look completely different?" It's gonna look different for a week because I have a guest artist. That's right, Jake Tapper of CNN is my guest artist for one week. We did this once a couple years ago but we're doing it again and we're doing it for charity.

Now before you say, "Hey he works for CNN, I don't like that network," let me tell you that it's for a veterans charity, specifically Homes for Our Vets. And what they do is they find homes, they facilitate in a variety of ways for the most severely wounded veterans. So these are the people who really need a special kind of a home and they have a need for some help. So I would ask you to, for the sake of the veterans, to put aside any political feelings you have about who's on what side or whether you agree with CNN or Fox News or any of that. Let's show the better part of being human, which is Jake and I are working on this to try to, it's in his for auction. The publicity this week will tell you if you want to bid on it so you could buy Jake's original art along with the sign. He'll sign it and I'll sign it as well. I'm having it framed right now so we're getting those together. Yeah, and then we'll put them up for auction. Anybody who wants to bid on them, the money will go to a very deserving veterans organization.

Now we have not announced this yet by the way, so I'm saying it here because I saw one of the local newspapers announced it just so the readers didn't get surprised and complain. So it's sort of out there a little bit. We'll start our publicity for that tomorrow but look for that and you might like it.

I'm having this online conversation with 3D gun advocates. Advocates, not just people who are talking about it. I guess one of them is an advocate who's doing 3D gun making. And the conversation online on Twitter goes like this. Guy says, "I can totally make a gun with my 3D printer." Somebody else says, "No you can't. That's not a thing. You fire it a few times and it'll melt down and it can't ta…
