Customer Reviews

Just Dilbert

It really gives you a reason for laughs. Dilbert never lets me down on that matter.

Everything`s back in "snafu" order....

The last 2-3 Adam`s Dilbert collections were lackin on edge somewhat. Not that you can ever go wrong by acquring a Dilbert comic but Adams has accustomed his readers to a very high niveau of humor. "When body language goes bad" is a tremendous return to top form for the Dilbert creator. New and very welcome twists take place as Dilbert gets downsized, the Pointy Haired Boss becomes an engineer (even if it is for just a day), Wally takes Asok under his wings to teach him his "deepest secrets" on how to avoid work, Dilbert`s mother adopts an even more caustic attitude than wè had seen her up to now, and of course Alice is as usual the aggro force of the corporate corridors. Wally keeps stealing the show as usual and the Head of Human resources (or "livestock") comes up with new and improved ways to torture the already overtortured souls of the employees. On a downside, as has been the case with almost all of Adams`last albums Dogbert and especially Ratbert (possibly the 2nd cultest character of the series) seem to have taken second stage.` This is bizzare on one hand but understandable on the other as most of the Dilbert characters have a strong fan base but it`s also a fact that Dogbert is one of the driving forces of the comic. As for Ratbert, yes, it can be a personal preference thingie. It`s probably getting boring to say "a must buy" for each new Dilbert publication, but, as the faithful know, it`s an addiction.

Up to his best

Okay so I love this sort of thing, but this is up to his best and will make perfect gifts for everyone I know with a bithday this year.

Hysterically and ruthlessly funny cartoons

When Body Language Goes Bad is the twenty-first collection of Scott Adams' "Dilbert" daily comic strips. Hysterically and ruthlessly funny cartoons featuring overtaxed engineers, their clueless pointy-haired boss, incompetent co-workers, a dog with more power than most dictators, and an insidiously evil cat in charge of human resources fill the pages of this hilarious and sometimes regretfully timely collection. When the mean and unscrupulous boss says, "Ha ha! We're filing for chapter 11 because all of our so-called profits are fake. I'm laughing because I sold all of my stock on the same day I heard that our CFO did!", both the humor and the message come across clearly and sink in deeply.

Just another compilation

Just the right book ! Best I have seen in years after Dilbert and the way of the Weasel.
