Dilbert #19

Another Day in Cubicle Paradise

... Show More
When Dilbert first appeared in newspapers across the country in 1989, office workers looked around suspiciously. Was its creator, Scott Adams, a pen name for someone who worked amongst them? After all, the humor was just too eerily funny and familiar. Since then, Dilbert has become more than a cartoon character. He's become an office icon. In Another Day in Cubicle Paradise, Dilbert and his cohorts, Dogbert, Catbert, Ratbert, and the pointy-haired boss, once again entertain with their cubicle humor. From bizarre personnel decisions to meetings gone bad, from schizoid secretaries to consultants from hell, Another Day in Cubicle Paradise provides a way to get all those darn comic strips off the breakroom bulletin board.

About the author

... Show More
Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name. See this thread for more information.

Adams was born in Windham, New York in 1957 and received his Bachelor's degree in Economics from Hartwick College in 1979.

He also studied economics and management for his 1986 MBA from the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley.

In recent years, Adams has been hurt with a series of debilitating health problems. Since late 2004, he has suffered from a reemergence of his focal dystonia which has affected his drawing. He can fool his brain by drawing using a graphics tablet. On December 12, 2005, Adams announced on his blog that he also suffers from spasmodic dysphonia, a condition that causes the vocal cords to behave in an abnormal manner. However, on October 24, 2006, he again blogged stating that he had recovered from this condition, although he is unsure if the recovery is permanent. He claims to have developed a method to work around the disorder and has been able to speak normally since. Also, on January 21, 2007, he posted a blog entry detailing his experiences with treatment by Dr. Morton Cooper.

Adams is also a trained hypnotist, as well as a vegetarian. (Mentioned in, "Dilbert: A Treasury of Sunday Strips 00).

He married Shelly Miles on July 22, 2006.

I always turn to Dilbert when I'm unhappy with my job and it always makes me feel better.

Another great Dilbert collection

Always an accurate reflection of office life and it’s absurdities and bizarre managers. Nice to know we are not alone and it is important to see the funny side.

I have read a lot of volumes of Dilbert books, but this is probably the first one I’ve read that didn’t seem to repeat half a of previous book. Because of that, this one was a lot of fun to read. Having spent some time in a cubicle myself over the years, I always suspect that Scott Adams bugs a lot of companies to get ideas for his comic strip. So many of the characters remind me of specific people I’ve worked with, or a boss, or maybe a situation I’ve experienced myself. Recommended especially for business people.

Some comic strips should not be collected.
Individually, occasionally, they're funny.
But en masse, the shortcomings are all too readily apparent.
