Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Everyone who's in business, works for a business, or even just gives others the business is amazed: Scott Adams never lacks for yet another way to lampoon the corporate world. It's not that Adams is anti-business. He's more anti-bad boss than anything. But poor management practices, the effects of bad decisions, and what it all means for the average worker add up to more comedic material than even the man who created Dilbert can tame.

Since Dilbert was first syndicated in 1989, Adams has built a following that would be the envy of any corporate sales and marketing team. His work not only generates howls from readers as they rush to plaster it on lunch-room refrigerators and scan it into interoffice e-mails, it has those same fans reading about "their" workplaces every Sunday in a multiple-panel, color format. And that's what this treasury, The Collected Dilbert Sundays, provides. This collection offers yet another glimpse into the zany life of Dilbert, Dogbert, Ratbert, and the rest of the crazy cube crew through the masterpiece Sunday comics. Here's even more of the great Adams's irony, sarcasm, and satire that so many have come to depend upon to cope with the corporate workplace. The Collected Dilbert Sundays humorously continues the tradition of poking fun at the world of business from which we all seek to temporarily escape.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humorous Compilation of Sunday Strips, September 17, 2001

By A Customer

This book has five years worth of Sunday comics, bursting with wildly funny office humor. In my opinion, the Dilbert Sunday comics may be the best of Scott Adams's work. From Dogbert and Wally's sarcasm to the boss's stupidity, it all balances out with perfectly hysterical comics.

5.0 out of 5 stars An antidote to the poisons of business culture, March 11, 2001

By	Charles Ashbacher "([e-mail])" (Marion, Iowa United States([e-mail])) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

While all cartoons are entertaining, a select few reach the level of psychiatric therapy. Dilbert is an example of such a strip, providing us with comic relief as we face our troubles. Some situations are so absurdly impossible that the only possible coping mechanism is to laugh at the situation.
The modern business culture is a complex entity, often dysfunctional and operating at breakneck speed. Many of these dysfunctional traits are parodied in this strip, exaggerated for emphasis, but not by much. This collection of strips is a laugh/cry dichotomy where all of us will recognize some of the situations as events in our working lives.
Humor is one of the most powerful forces in the human psyche, sometimes it is the only antidote to the poisons of life. If you are looking for one of the larger does of this effective medicine, read this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dilbert - A Treasury of Sunday Strips: Version 00 by S.Adams, August 18, 2001

By	J. Ngai (Rego Park, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

#16 of a series of Dilbert Books; this 224 page paperback book contains all the Sunday comics strips from 1995 to 1999. All the comics in this book are in color. If you want all the Dilbert Sunday comics in one book, this is it. Nice compilation.
