For many, many years now Scott Adams has been entertaining people with his comic strip Dilbert which lets office workers everywhere remember that they are not alone. Someone out there has experienced it all too and shares their pain. In this particular collection of comics, the focus is on the inept, pointy haired boss who lacks even a modest amount of leadership skills, intelligence or tact and his continuing quest to make the lives of Dilbert, Wally, Alice and everyone else in the office a living hell.
In the book, Adams uses his words to remind us all that it could always be worse… you could always have an asteroid headed towards Earth and have to invent a product to fix it within a week. Or you could have a robot who does nothing but drink coffee and look at inappropriate websites replace you. Or any other number of things that come out of the sometimes crazy mind of the author.
Dilbert is a comic that stands the test of time in this particular age of humanity. The humor is always timely and sometimes sarcastic in a way that reminds us to not take things so seriously. At one point Asok asks Alice for career advice to which she replies that he should devote every second of his life to work and completely ignore his personal life. When he gets depressed she reminds him that he wasn't asking for happiness advice.
For over a hundred pages, this strip will entertain and keep you chuckling and will make a great gift for those of you with an office worker in your life.
