The number of active cartoonists who have maintained this level of humor and excellence for this many years is pretty skimpy. I'm not sure whether I'm more amused or dismayed by the thought that these strips are not all that much an exaggeration of American business culture.
As a child I devoured comics and could laugh for hours at collections of the side. Sadly, much like the tilt-a-whirl, growing up has changed my relationship with comics. i still love Dilbert, but I can’t read a book like this in one sitting. Maybe the cubicle has stolen my soul, but i have to pace myself to get maximum laughs from a book like this.
Somewhat repetitive for me, if only because many of the strips in this book are also in the 2012 Dilbert Page-a-Day calendar. Enjoyable nevertheless.

Scott Adams, Cartoonist Scott Adams was born and raised in Windham, New York in the Catskill Mountains. He received a B.A. in economics from Hartwick College, Oneonta, NY and an MBA from the University of California, Berkeley. He is also a certified hypnotist. Adams worked in a bank for eight years and, while a bank teller, was robbed twice at show more gunpoint. He also worked for Pacific Bell for nine years and describes both jobs as "humiliating and low paying jobs." It was during this time, that Adams created the character Dilbert. He was entertaining himself during meetings by drawing insulting cartoons of his co-workers and bosses. In 1988, he mailed some sample comic strips featuring Dilbert to some major cartoon syndicates. He was offered a contract and Dilbert was launched in approximately fifty papers in 1989. Adams began working on Dilbert full time as well as speaking, writing, doing interviews, and designing artwork for licensed products. Dilbert is published in over 1,200 newspapers and has a hard cover business book called "The Dilbert Principle." (Bowker Author Biography) show less
