Product Description
"Ninety percent of ethics is picking the right ethicist." --Dilbert

Scott Adams offers up his this Dilbert collection exploring themes of sloth and corporate indifference. The arbitrary, unspoken rules of interoffice emailing, the random policy generator, and the knowledge that management has indeed given up ever trying to win an award for best place to work all combine to make life in the Dilbert workplace as demoralizing as real life.

Dilbert navigates through the same corporate 9 to 5 existence in which his readers physically dwell. Dilbert, Dogbert, the boss, Wally, Alice, and Catbert tackle corporate indolence, avarice, and pretense one strip at a time, from the neighboring cubicle whistler to the project naysayer to the guy who's always just too busy to lend a hand.

4 out of 5 stars The latest in a string of hits   August 17, 2008
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I confess that I am a fan of Scott Adams' "Dilbert" strips, (particularly his current strips, which I find more amusing than his earlier strips, although there was some good work there.) I like the addition of color to all the strips because this makes them for some reason very pleasant to look at, and "Catbert, Evil director of human resources " is always the proper devilish red. I'm not much into making comparisons between one collection and another, but for me Mr. Adams work is only getting more to my liking, more absurd, playful, even "Monty Python-ish" lately. I've really enjoyed his latest collection, and I look forward to the next.


5 out of 5 stars great dilbert book   July 8, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book has the latest Dilbert comics. They keep up with the latest workplace stupidity and accurately reflect pointy hair in most worklaces. If you work for long enough, Human Resources will seem like talking cats. They are just not human.


5 out of 5 stars Scott Adams Is A Creative Genius   July 2, 2008
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Scott Adams is a creative genius. Even after some 20 years of generating his Dilbert Comic strip on a daily basis, he continues to make his audience laugh. This book is a summary of his work in most of 2007 and is truly a wonderful collection. As the creator of www.PublicWorksComic.com I know laugh out loud humor when I see it. Pick up Scott's book. You'll really enjoy it!


5 out of 5 stars Adams - As Sharp & Funny as Ever!   July 1, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This latest (31st) collection of Dilbert cartoons contains all the syndicated cartoon strips (including the longer Sunday strip) from March 2007 - early January 2008. As a bonus, they are now ALL in colour, not just the Sunday ones. I have really enjoyed this collection - Adams has hit a new bit of sharp form in this latest collection. Wally, PHB, Alice....they are all here. An excellent, humourous read. Highly recommended.


5 out of 5 stars More Dilbert fun   June 26, 2008
Another great Dilbert read with the occasional surprise appearance - the dead horse, scape goat etc. Just relaxing and pure fun. A bonus this time is that ALL the cartoons are in color.
