The best get better

It was beginning to look like Scott Adams would run out of material for Dilbert, but the corporate world just keeps spinning. Words.. is a new high level in corporate mayhem. From Dogbert the headhunter to the genius garbage man and of course Catbert the evil HR manager they are all here. We learn that "plundered" is now called "enhanced stock holder values." The pointy hair boss gets a body double for safety, and Dilbert invents a robot clone to double his visibility. It's another swipe at office management and the minions who toil our lives away in cubicles. Buy a 2nd copy and mail it to your pointy hair boss. Better yet, buy a 3rd copy and mail that one to your HR Catbert.

Another funny Dilbert book

This is another very funny and spot-on book from Adams. Some of the characters like Ratbert and Dogbert don't appear as much, but Wally comes on strong and new characters are introduced like ConsulTick.What's funny is the resonant note that Dilbert has struck with so much of corporate America. Having been an employee at a major Fortune 500 company for many years myself, I was convinced that Adams was talking about my company, and so did everyone else, although the resemblances at times could be almost eerie. Adams's cartoons of the more absurd and ridiculous aspects of corporate culture (which at times seems to be about 99% of it) continue to provide much needed comic relief for hapless cubicle dwellers everywhere, and this is another funny book from Adams that shouldn't disappoint his fans.

One of the funniest Dilbert books

One of the reasons I like this one so much is because it contains the comic strips that I always read in the paper last year. These are a few of the reasons why you should buy this book.Toxic TomDilbert as a sheepWally being lasy a usualDogbert's Tech SupportThe ConsultickDilbert's mood altering drugsThe furniture psychicThe new dress code which is barrels My favorite comic which is the one where Wally researches Greek names for a new productThis are a bunch of really great comics and they are a must buy for all Dilbert fans.

More Dilbert Hilarity

This is the latest collection of Dilbert strips (not one of the larger treasuries with color). Once again we enter the crazy business world of Dilbert and shudder to realize both how accurate it is and that Dilbert is the most normal person in the strip.In this collection we get such story arcs as:The return of Bob the DinosaurDilbert turns into a sheepThe annoying consultickDilbert grows an exoskeletonThe new dress-code: BarrelsAnother fine collection for just about anyone.

As always, pure Dilbert gold!

If you are like me, you will buy this book just because it is the next Dilbert treasury.If you aren't like me, you should still buy this if you would like a laugh.After almost 15 years, Dilbert has evolved, but is still going strong. Although characters like Ratbert and Bob don't make as many appearances anymore, Scott Adams has brought us many new specific characters, like the above mentioned ConsulTick. There are many of these characters in this treasury. This book will bring a few smiles to your face. Enjoy.
