Positive Attitude: A Dilbert Collection (Dilbert Book) [Paperback]

Scott Adams (Author)

Book Description

Series: Dilbert Book | Publication Date: July 1, 2007

Proving that corporate CEOs are indeed clueless, that PowerPoint presentations are at best perfunctory, and that the Office Nemesis is an omnipresent force to be reckoned with, Dilbert creator Scott Adams offers his 29th comic compilation all in four-color—collecting all cartoons published from June 19, 2006, through March 31, 2007.

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 reflective critique of corporate.

I am a long time fan of Adam's descriptions of Dilbert and co-workers' exploits. I own more than 10 Dilbert books and the recent ones, while good, are not the best. I never laughed harder than from Casual Day has Gone too Far and Still Pumped from Using the Mouse, and every subsequent Dilbert book gets measured against that. The earlier ones are worthy just for leading up to the pinnacle, and are interesting for spotting the budding genius of the later installments.

I think the Dilbert series as a whole holds its own still, and for sarcasm, it is one of the best. Something similar, although much darker, is Red Meat, which I also recommend.

The next volume (number 29 in the series) of Dilbert cartoons, containing all the syndicated worldwide strips published from 19 Jun 06 until 25 Mar 07. ALL the cartoons are in colour in this volume rather than just the "Sunday Strips"! Great fun as ever - Adams remains on top form. Recommended.

Well, this was a fantastic Dilbert album since the somewhat disappointing previous one. It contains some relly insightfull jokes and is one of the best Dilbert albums ever. It's definetly on par with the first albums.
