Scott Adams presents a very refreshing book with very good sense of humour. I personally prefer the chapters where the author works a little bit more with the office subjects, which are not completely adressed in this book in particular, but definitely, the cases he presents here always make you laugh, specially because they always remind us of a familiar situation.

One of the main reasons I like this book so much is that it focuses mainly on Dilbert and Dogbert. I have two Dilbert books with just them in it and 9 ones with Dilbert at the office and this one gives a nice change to the whole office aspect. Bob the dinosaur's son Rex is born is this book which is great because in one of my other books they introduce him. Dilbert and Dogbert have a great time together and Dilbert is great and this book is no exception.

Bring Me the Head of Willy the Mailboy is a very wonderful Dilbert book. It exposes the many insane issues of life. It has not fully developed into a workplace comic strip yet, but it is evolving into a semi-workplace comic strip. It is a wonderful book with some darker sides also-like Dilbert dying (But coming back, of course).

dilbert is a man for the nineties--broken,defeated and living with fear. dogbert, his canine companion (do not even consider calling him a "pet.") plans to conquer the world, torment Dilbert and make us laugh as well fear our own dogs. The artwork is ,well, my seven year old son draws better, but he isn't as observant or astute--at least not yet. Dilbert the comic strip is the best one out there, bar none.It is worth any number of "realistic" looking strips like "Mary Worth" or "Apt.3-G" out there. We at the Bethany, OK library snatch the new Dilbert books when the come in and only let regular mortals check them out when we are finished, and when we feel like it. Dilbert is read by kids, adults, childish adults, and adolescents. And they all "get it."

This book is perfect to cheer you up , it puts a smile on your face it deals with real life problems and situations. very fun to read.

By my count this is the 4th collection of unique Dilbert strips and though it's an older collection, it's still very very funny. This is one of the first books where Adams started experimenting with the really zany and supernatural elements in his work -- we're introduced in this volume to the accounting trolls, Mother Nature (who kills Dilbert in an idea she got from a Gary Larson cartoon!), and Dilbert is "cloned back to life" from his own garbage and a cloning invention that also (it's a feature, not a bug!) dispenses a chile con carne recipe. What could be more fun?

One of the things I like about these older collections in retrospect is the pointy-haired boss who is not really yet pointy-haired, who has noticeable jowls, and who is abusive and angry rather than clueless -- he provides an extra dimension in Dilbert's workplace struggles that I somewhat miss in retrospect to the more modern comics.

If you're a Dilbert fan and you don't have this book in your collection, I highly recommend it.

I couldn't stop laughing!

Scott Adams is a genius.

Laugh till you cry funny!

Keep it comin'!

Yes, in this book, the character of Dilbert dies. But never fear, he is cloned back to life from his garbage! This book covers strips from mid-1990 to May 1991. The dinosaurs Bob and Dawn have an egg which hatches into the short-lived character of Rex. Also returning for a series is Dilber't Ego. Scott Adams continues to improve his trade in this book. Great for when you need some laughs or light reading.

Bring me the Head of Willy the Mailboy! is just as funny as all the other Dilbert books. This one like all of them is a must read for any Dilbert Fan. Look at the average rating for it, A perfect five stars so you know it must be great

Well, the book was great, right up to the point where Dilbert died. In "Casual Day Has Gone Too Far", Dogbert dies. Luckily, each were restored. But I'd like to know what was going through the mind of SCOTT ADAMS when he decided to have this happen. What??!! I demand a reason for why I am forced to say WhAt?!?! If you're Scott Adams, and you read this, then you had better respond with facts (On the topic). (PS. That wasn't really a threat.)
