This book is freedom for those who feel imprisoned in a cubicle. Called "the cartoon hero of the workplace" by the San Francisco Examiner, Dilbert is revered by technology and computer workers, engineers, white-collar types, scientists and everyone who works these days (in cubicles or not). This collection captures it all, from clueless management decrees to near revolts among the cubicly confined.

Dilbert, the mainstay of office-life critical witticisms, is the concept of Scott Adams, who quit his job to write the column, using it primarily to exorcise the demons that haunted him (and, indeed, seem to haunt all in small-to-large corporate America) during his tenure as a mid-level office worker.

Who can argue with this? This, perhaps in a brief statement, summarises much of the underlying philosophy of the corporate culture Adams presents in his Dilbert column. It certainly epitomises the prevailing attitude of the boss and management structure. And of course, being in charge of his own column, Adams has graduated (or, perhaps sunk) to the level of management.

Dogbert's entry into and rising through the hierarchy is a good case in point, where LOUD equals results. After securing a corner office with a window by being LOUD, a task force ripe for empire-building within the company, the budgetary control of his boss, he is invited, at the end of his first week on the job, to meet with the president of the company.

I really enjoyed "The Dilbert Principle." Everyone should own a copy. Unfortunately, anyone who owns that book might find themself retreading familiar territory here. Many strips overlap, albeit sometimes the storylines are extended further in this volume. If you're a completist, get it; the strips are all good. If not, stick with "The Dilbert Principle."

Another hilarious Dilbert compilation. With both color and black and white strips, this book is a must have for any Dilbert enthusiast. Complete with Dogbert's always insightful tips on surviving the work place, and Dilberts quirky ways of getting out of doing any work for his inept manager. This book gives a very disturbing look into corporate America, with Dilbert, , , Dogbert, , Pointy Haired Boss, , Phil the Prince of Insufficient Light, Bob the dinosaur, Dilberts girlfriend Liz, and many more, this book is still just as funny after two or three readings. I highly recomend this book.

I was laughing so hard when I finished reading this book that my sides ached. I also wanted to cry because Scott Adams' observations on the absurdities of the '90s workplace are dead on, whether you are an engineer, a teacher, a social worker or a nurse. . .I have friends in all these professions and more who are Dilbert fans. Thank you, Scott, for making work just a little bit easier and letting me know that I am not the only person who is surrounded by idiots on the job!!

How can cubical dwellers vent with their office related frustrations? Dilbert. From's Wally's lazy and devious ways to the boss's incompetence to Dogbert's sarcasm, this classic book provides hillarious office antics. It can identify with employees' stress and give them a good laugh at the absurd corporate world. With more useless meetings, reorganizations, downsizing, performance reviews, and many other workplace woes, this is an exquisite book.

When the cubicle police outlaw plastic plants for fear they will attract dumb bugs, Dilbert takes a stand. However, back in his cubicle, he sweats out his decision to harbour a pathetic plastic flower. 'I'm a rebel...I'm evil. My antiperspirant is breaking down!' he wails. Despite his best intentions, Dilbert just isn't cut out to live the life of a fugitive...From clueless management decrees to near revolts among the cubicly confined, this new collection of Scott Adams's brilliant cartoons captures it all -- a hilarious sideways look at the all-too-familiar ups and downs of life in and out of the office. Scott Adams used to work in a cubicle for communications giant Pacific Bell. He escaped ten years ago and lives in Northern California. His books The Dlbert Principle, Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook, and have sold three and a half million copies and have spent almost one hundred weeks on the New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller lists.

Are you a cubicle-dweller? Fed up with the often asinine practices of management and the useless buzzwords and fluff that seem to float around the office? Ever plotted a revolt at the fax machine? A revolution orchestrated over e-mail? Scott Adams' "Dilbert" character has, along with his army of counterparts, and for it he has been hailed as "the hero of the workplace." This collection of cartoons acutely collars the clueless practices of office superiors who all too often have ...

Before his comic creation Dilbert rose to fame as the champion of disgruntled office drones everywhere, Scott Adams was a lowly cube-dweller himself, toiling away at a string of thankless, low-paying corporate jobs. With the success of a franchise that includes dozens of books, as well as calendars, video games, and associated Dilbert-themed merchandise, it’s safe to say Adams won’t have to go back to the office grind anytime soon.

Back when he was a lowly office worker slaving under fluorescent lights and drinking bad coffee at an unsatisfying string of office jobs, Scott Adams would try to stave off some of the mind-numbing boredom he faced each day by doodling a little comic strip about a hapless office drone he called Dilbert. As he worked, Adams filed away the fodder for his fledgling comic strip. Today, Dilbert is officially an empire -- and Adams is the CEO.

Adams didn't start his career path intending to become a workplace warrior. As he told FamousVeggie.com, he graduated high-school as valedictorian "because the other 39 people in my class couldn't spell ‘valedictorian.'" After earning a B.A. in economics at Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York, Adams went on to earn an M.B.A. at the University of California at Berkeley. Adding an interesting twist to his education, he also managed to pick up a Certified Hypnotist diploma from the Clement School of Hypnosis in 1981.

After college, during his often-brief tenure at a series of low-paying, low-on-the-totem-pole jobs at corporations from Crocker National Bank in San Francisco to Pacific Bell in San Ramon, Adams started to wonder if his sanity-saving doodles really could rescue him from a life spent working for The Man. Acting on a tip from a kindly fellow cartoonist, he picked up the 1988 Artist Markets guide and simply followed the instructions on how to get syndicated. He mailed out fifty sample Dilbert strips, and was offered a contract by United Media within weeks.

Adams's first attempt writing an actual book was 1996's The Dilbert Principle, which became a number one New York Times bestseller and one of the top-selling business books of all time. More than just a compilation of Adams's cartoons, the book included essays on the trials and tribulations of corporate culture. "Each one is on target and deliciously sardonic," said Booklist in its review. "Sometimes too true to be funny." Today, the strip continues its clip as the fastest-growing cartoon of all time, and is enjoyed daily by 150 million people in 1,900 newspapers, in 56 countries.

Transitioning from comic compilations to full books was a challenge for Adams. As he admitted to Salon.com, "Drawing the comic strip is fun -- it can actually increase my energy. I feel good when I'm doing it, and I feel good when it's done. But writing just sucks the energy right out of me. I find that after about an hour of writing sometimes I have to jump on the floor and fall asleep, right now. It's so much harder than it looks."

When he's not helping Dilbert bring a smile to the faces of the working wounded, Adams moonlights as a restaurateur, running two successful Stacey's Cafés in Northern California. He has also founded the Scott Adams Foods company, home of the Dilberito™ -- a protein-packed burrito perfect for the office microwave.

Called the "cartoon hero of the workplace" by the San Francisco Examiner, Dilbert has become more than just a celebrity since he was created. The corporate cog is revered by technology and computer workers, engineers, white-collar types, scientists and everyone else who works these days. We all count on Dilbert's deadpan perspective to provide just the right hilarious twist to the all-too-familiar ups and downs of life in and out of the office!

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 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.

Another LOL book from Scott Adams. I love Dilbert, especially having worked in the 'corporate' world. Scott Adams nails the corporate culture, with their silly rules and weird management skills. If you need a laugh cause you work in the corporate world (as if working in the corporate world weren't funny enough already), here's your book!

Full review: The eighth collection of Dilbert comics, Fugitive from the Cubicle Police contains many classic strips and story lines from Adams' ongoing vicious skewering of the inane and idiotic realm of the modern office. The name of this volume derives from a series of strips in which Dilbert is plagued by an enforcer of cubicle regulations. In the original version, he titled this enforcer the "Cubicle Gestapo", but the editors of the strip made him change it to the slightly less offensive "Cubicle Police". Oddly, despite the fact that the title of this volume uses the revised version, the strips in the book use the original "Gestapo" moniker (even the strip on the back cover of the book uses "Gestapo" instead of "Police").

In any event, this book contains Dilbert at its best. Though there are fewer ongoing story lines than in many other comic strips (a fact that Adams somewhat references in an aborted series in this volume involving genetically engineered cucumber warriors), the themes contained in the Dilbert strip are all ongoing. Basically almost everything boils down to one of two categories: poking fun at Dilbert and other technical types for their lack of social skills, or (more commonly) poking fun at the stupidity of the cubicle driven world in which people who don't understand the products their company makes are supposed to manage those that do.

Dogbert is heavily featured in this volume, as is Ratbert. Early in the book Dogbert bullies his way into a job and a promotion at the firm where Dilbert works, eventually making millions in stock options and retirement benefits. He and Ratbert take up consulting, offering their outrageously overpriced services to the company in such areas as corporate fitness, technical support, and downsizing. Ratbert straps liver to his waist to serve as evidence of extra brains. As a lawyer, this volume contains my favorite strip in which Dogbert tries to decide whether building an army or starting a religion is the best way to conquer the world. When calculating which way would involve the least loss of life, he counts law students as two-tenths of a person, on the grounds that they won't drop to zero until they pass the bar.

The strips in this volume also take a slightly violent turn - Dogbert acquires a phaser to punish those who annoy him, while a secretary begins to shoot her coworkers with a crossbow. Phil of Insufficient Light makes several appearances to punish those guilty of minor errors by darning them to heck. Of course, the pointy-haired boss doesn't need to resort to such crude methods to inflict pain, firing individuals with abandon, reassigning them to new cubicles on a whim, cutting budgets, and changing projects specs he doesn't understand (which means all of them).

Unusually for Dilbert, who usually has no success in his personal life, things seem to pick up a little for him in this volume. Although there are numerous strips depicting the many ways an engineer can have a date go completely awry, in this volume Dilbert acquires his girlfriend Liz, a woman attracted to men who can write code in short sleeved polyester shirts. (Dilbert also experiments with cologne that makes him irresistible to women, with humorous results). The strips with Dilbert and Liz are funny as Dilbert confronts a woman who is just as nerdy as he is. http://edufb.net/1875.pdf
