Product Description: Dilbert and the gang are back for this 26th collection, Thriving on Vague Objectives.
Adams has his finger on the pulse of cubicle dwellers across the globe. No one delivers more laughs or captures the reality of the 9 to 5 worker better than Dilbert, Dogbert, Catbert, and a cast of stupefying office stereotypes-which is why there are approximately 150 million fans of the Dilbert comic strip.
Dilbert is a techno-man stuck in a dead-end job (sound familiar?). Power-mad Dogbert strives to take over the world and enslave the humans. The most intelligent person in Dilbert's world is his trash collector, who knows everything about everything.
Artist and creator Scott Adams started Dilbert as a doodle when he worked as a bank teller. He continued doodling when he was upgraded to a cubicle for a major telecommunications company. His boss (no telling if he was pointy-haired or not) suggested the name Dilbert. Adams is so dead-on accurate in his depictions of office life that he has been accused of spying on Corporate America.
Dilbert appears in 2,000 newspapers in 65 countries and is translated into 19 languages.
Thriving on Dilbert Comics If you're a Dilbert fan, buy this book. More of the same high-quality, cynical office humor, Thriving on Vague Objectives will make you laugh out loud - because it is SO true!
Another fine volume fresh off the assembly line... "Thriving on Vague Objectives" is about like every other compilation that Scott Adams has published, nothing better or worse, a funny read if you like cubicle workplace humor.
I suspect the next 40 Dilbert volumes will probably be just like this one and the 25 that preceded it. But, I cannot help thinking, Dilbert has made Scott Adams crazy-rich and I really hope he has the good sense to get out before he is in his eighties and his characters get all squiggly, like Peanuts became in Charles Schulz's final years. Better to go out like Larson or Watterson, who each retired while on top of their game, than hang on too long.
But, that's an argument for perhaps volume 50 of Dilbert. In the here and now, this book is just as good as Dilbert comics get.
Another year in the life of Dilbert Poor guy... Dilbert again is in front of the pack while being left at the gate... and if you to know what it is like to be in the rear of the pack and looking for the gate, ask Wally. There is a quixotic combination of subtle and blatant humor here and in Scott Adam's previous Dilbert books.
You can't go wrong with this book... it is splendsmartiful.
Quality Not as good as Dilbert shows you the business but still a fun read, the dilbert comics are great.
Thriving from vague objectives His 26th book in the series is the usual 40 weeks of the daily and Sunday comic strips; nice way to save all of his comics in a bound book.
