Dilbert returns to his fluorescent-lit prison where corporate dysfunction reaches new heights. The engineer watches Wally perfect his work-avoiding strategies while mastering the art of looking busy. The Pointy-Haired Boss devises fresh methods to crush employee morale, even promoting smoking as a pension cost-cutting measure. Dogbert expands his profitable consulting schemes. New faces join the madness, including the hapless Hammerhead Bob and Petricia, a ruthless sycophant who fawns over management. Dilbert trudges through each workday, hunting for signs of intelligence in his corporate wasteland while dreaming of romance that never materializes.
