5.0 out of 5 stars Dilbert--The Cartoon Hero of the Workplace, July 12, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Always Postpone Meetings With Time-Wasting Morons (Paperback)

This is the first Dilbert book. It is full of great cartoons that put a hilarious twist on all aspects of the workplace from endless meetings to pointy-haired idiots (better known as middle management). A great book to read if your stressed out on your jobs and you want to read about your workplace problems through the blurry eyes of Dilbert

4.0 out of 5 stars The First Dilbert Strips, August 19, 2002

This review is from: Always Postpone Meetings With Time-Wasting Morons (Paperback)

This book contains the first Dilbert strips running from April 16, 1989 to October 21, 1989. The characters are a little rough from what we've come to know and the humor contains a lot of puns. Some characters introduced here besides Dilbert and Dogbert are the dinosaurs Bob and Dawn, and Phil, the Prince of Insufficient Light. Scott was still feeling out the strip at this time and as a result it is not the funniest, but it is still good.

3.0 out of 5 stars Early Dilbert, July 31, 2004

This review is from: Always Postpone Meetings With Time-Wasting Morons (Paperback)

This is the first compilation of Dilbert comics, featuring Dilbert comic strips from the late 80's. Most of the humor is at home -- away from the office and features Dilbert with Dogbert. No Pointy Hair Boss, Wally, Alice, etc.. So, despite its title, there is very little office satire (my Dilbert preference). At 112 pages with typically 3 comic strips per page, there are plenty of laughs. The comics featuring Phil the Ruler of Heck are hillarious.
