Editorial Reviews

Product Description
My cube is sucking the life force out of me." --Dilbert

In Cubes and Punishment: A Dilbert Book, Dilbert sardonically skewers the Dostoevskian sense of despair and anxiety that corporate life breeds. And nowhere is this sense more alive than in the desolation of the cubicle. In Dilbert's world, cubicle dwellers are relegated to everything from the half-size intern cubicle to the patented head cubicle and are even sentenced to adopt and decorate empty cubicles.

* Dilbert continues to be the voice for the embattled cubicle-dwelling Everyman. With best-friend Dogbert, and a veritable who's who in accompanying office characters ranging from the Boss and Wally to Alice and Catbert, Dilbert offers a welcome dose of laughter in response to the inanity of corporate culture and middle-management mores.

About the Author
Scott Adams was born in Windham, NY, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1979. Scott has won multiple National Cartoonists Society Awards, and the Dilbert strip has received a Harvey Award and won the Max and Moritz Prize as best international comic strip.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rehash, rehash, rehash! :-(, January 13, 2008
There is absolutely NOTHING in this book that is new!
If you are a reader of "Dilbert" books, you will be wasting your money, since all the cartoons in it are borrowed from older books.
If I could find the receipt I'd apply for a refund.

4.0 out of 5 stars Latest Dilbert Anthology, December 18, 2007
By S. Bradnam (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Once every few Dilbert collections, rather than just the new stuff, Adams issues a themed anthology of Dilbert stuff that collects together old cartoon strips under certain themes (his last one was Wally-focused!! - Book 27 in the series) - for the 30th book in the Dilbert collection, he chooses workplace cruelty, with each of the main characters having their own section. Yes, there are old strips that you will have seen before, but it is always interesting to see how the drawing and character development has come along over the years. Very funny, as always - even second/third time round. Recommended and great fun.
