by Scott Adams
Part of Dilbert, book 7
First published 1996
Scott Adams delivers his trademark workplace satire through another collection of Dilbert strips. The beleaguered engineer Dilbert navigates corporate absurdity while his cynical pet Dogbert schemes from the sidelines. Adams targets the ridiculous aspects of office culture that more than 50 million readers recognize from their own jobs. The strips appear in over 2,000 newspapers worldwide because they capture universal truths about management incompetence, meaningless meetings, and technological frustrations. Dilbert suffers through another year of cubicle existence while Dogbert plots world domination with his superior intellect. Adams transforms everyday workplace annoyances into sharp comedy that resonates across industries and job levels. This collection continues the series that made office workers everywhere feel less alone in their corporate struggles.
