by Scott Adams
Part of Dilbert, book 16
First published 2000
Scott Adams targets the corporate world through his creation Dilbert, the hapless office worker navigating workplace absurdity. Adams focuses his satirical lens on incompetent management rather than attacking business itself. Poor leadership decisions, flawed corporate practices, and their impact on ordinary employees provide endless material for his comic strips. Since Dilbert's syndication began in 1989, Adams has cultivated a devoted readership that eagerly shares his work in break rooms and office emails. This collection presents Dilbert's Sunday adventures in full color, multiple-panel format. Readers follow Dilbert alongside his cynical dog Dogbert, the scheming Ratbert, and other cubicle dwellers as they endure corporate dysfunction. Adams delivers his signature irony and sarcasm through workplace scenarios that ring true for anyone who has suffered under bad management. The strips offer both entertainment and a coping mechanism for those trapped in similar corporate environments.
