Part of Dilbert, book 23
First published 2004
Dilbert sits trapped in his cubicle, surrounded by the endless dysfunction of corporate life. His pointy-haired boss delivers nonsensical directives while colleagues struggle through meaningless meetings and bureaucratic chaos. Dogbert schemes for world domination, Catbert devises new ways to torment employees, and Ratbert bumbles through his own misadventures. The engineering protagonist faces each workday armed only with logic in a world that rewards the opposite. Scott Adams captures the daily grind of white-collar workers who recognize their own office nightmares in every panel. This 23rd collection reveals why millions of readers find uncomfortable truth in Dilbert's world, where corporate speak masks incompetence and survival requires accepting the absurd as normal.
