Dilbert and the cast of his wacky corporation are back for more satirical looks at our modern business life. Join our crazy characters for some of the following story arcs:

The company loses so much money a new number needs to be named

The perils of discount Irish dancing

The dreaded tunnel shark

Asok heads the office relocation

And more quick jabs and jokes than can be listed. If you work in an office, you will swear Scott Adams has been watching your coworkers.

Scott Adams' 23rd addition to the Dilbert series is one of the best so far. The characters never cease to amaze me in every way. Wally's laziness and Alice's temper along with Dogbert's cheap but smart ideas to rip people off are what make this comic strip great. We are able to see ourselves in all of the character mainly because they all represent something. Wally represents the person who is too lazy to do anything but does well in his life anyway. Dilbert is the person who no matter how hard he tries he can never get anywhere in his life. Alice is the person who can't control her temper because she is so overworked. Asok is the person who is still learning from others but he is becoming a independent person. Dogbert is the person who can make money by scamming people and never working too hard. The Boss is the person who knows nothing yet gets so far in his life.

I think this Dilbert book is a great buy and it is worth the money. As always Dilber tgives us clean and enjoyable entertainment that we can always enjoy.

Scott Adams brings an utterly human and sensible perspective to what is so often inhuman and insensible: the world, especially the office world. Adams' satire is sometimes so bizarre and abstract as to actually approach reality.
Adams' only trouble is that he seems to be running out of ideas, cycling some of the same basic jokes in different packages. But he's still a funny read, and one of the best comics out there.

Though the theme of the book appears somewhere after the center page cartoon, this is a compilation of cartoons from last year to the beginning of the first quarter of this year. Some of the all time favorites like the Outsourcing joke, Ashok's Talk about IIT's form the core of this book. A typical dilbert humor with some of the best joke books.

All Dilbert books are funny. This is a Dilbert book. Ergo, Snaffle eats cheese. No, wait, that's the conclusion to a different logical progression, but you get the point. Anyway, this Dilbert book, as all Dilbert books are, is funny. But it isn't particularly outstanding as Dilbert books go; there was nothing that made me laugh out loud, only a few strips that I wanted to read to my wife, and nothing that I wanted to copy & put up on my office wall. But it's definitely worth the read.

Good Condition & Fast Shipping!

If you have ever read Dilbert and cracked a smile or saw where you worked in the joke then you need to buy the collected strip editions.

This latest Dilbert is witty, funny, and I give Scott Adams an A+ for putting greater details into his art works.

As with all Dilbert books, I highly recommend them. The daily tales of management, IT workers, and technology never fail to make me laugh. However, I recommend you buy them somewhere else. With Amazon no longer discounting all of it's titles, I have no reason to shop here exclusively. And, like thousands of others, I am choosing to get the most for my money. And that no longer includes this site.
