Dilbert: A Book Of Postcards
by Scott Adams
Andrews & McMeel, ISBN 0-8362-1331-9, US $8.95 (Canada: $12.50)
Dilbert is the essentially Everyman as seen by Scott Adams, but he's Everyman with a cubicle-contained (and downsized) twist or two. His world is defined by endless meetings that achieve nothing, projects that seem to be without purpose, a worthless boss, aggressive secretaries, co-workers prone to hatching peculiar plots and corporate thinking that leads to catastrophes that no-one quite knows are taking place. Added to this mixture are such characters as Dogbert, Ratbert and, now, Catbert, creatures that function as sidekicks and as independent entities.
This collection of thirty postcards compiles some of the more popular entries in the comic strip, mixing them in with mini-posters. Overall, it's an amusing collection that some people might not want to actually commit to the postal service. Dilbert fans will have a lot of fun mailing these cards to friends, relatives and complete strangers who may be shocked to receive one.
