Product Description: My cube is sucking the life force out of me." --Dilbert
In Cubes and Punishment: A Dilbert Book, Dilbert sardonically skewers the Dostoevskian sense of despair and anxiety that corporate life breeds. And nowhere is this sense more alive than in the desolation of the cubicle. In Dilbert's world, cubicle dwellers are relegated to everything from the half-size intern cubicle to the patented head cubicle and are even sentenced to adopt and decorate empty cubicles.
* Dilbert continues to be the voice for the embattled cubicle-dwelling Everyman. With best-friend Dogbert, and a veritable who's who in accompanying office characters ranging from the Boss and Wally to Alice and Catbert, Dilbert offers a welcome dose of laughter in response to the inanity of corporate culture and middle-management mores.
Very Funny In the comic book world, you have two kinds of books you can release: 'Collections'; which are new cartoons and 'Treasury' which contains "recycled" cartoons, usually from the 'Collections'. The good news about 'Treasuries' is they contain more pages of comic strips than the 'Collections' plus the Sunday strips are in color.
This Dilbert book is what you call a 'Treasury'. And this treasury like all Scott Adams Treasuries are based on themes. Cubes and Punishments: A Collection of Dilbert Comics on the Theme of Unusual Workplace Cruelty. This treasury has the funniest strips Scott Adams has ever created. A very funny Dilbert that you will not be disappointed in.
Funny, funny, funny I've finished it already and passed it on to my family. The guy is a royal 'nut'. Love it
Disfunction as a business model As always, Dilbert's latest collection serves me well as a "bathroom reader". Sitting there, reading through all the ridiculous frustrations of cubicle living reminds me of the long, boring hours spent waiting for meetings to end and work to begin. Unfortunately, some of the panels seem to come from the ancient days of the "pointy-haired boss", but the strips are still funny, the regulations still brainless, and the characters still timely. I eagerly await the newest installment of how to waste your life for money...
Good collect of old stories As I'm Dilbert fan and collector, this book reviews some strips along Dilbert stories. If you don't have old books, then, buy it asap.
Rehash, rehash, rehash! :-( There is absolutely NOTHING in this book that is new! If you are a reader of "Dilbert" books, you will be wasting your money, since all the cartoons in it are borrowed from older books. If I could find the receipt I'd apply for a refund.
