Fun Cartoons, But Linited To The Office Workplace
I enjoy the Dilbert cartoons as much as most fans and have found many office truths in the skillful cartoons. Yet, a typical company workplace does not only consist of office life. In most companies there are also extensive research and develoment departments and an array of managers from technical to the self-important CEOs, which are rarely mentioned and dealt with in these cartoons. In this way I find the Dilbert cartoons to be limited and one-sided in their portrayal of real company worklife. I worked in a major company for many years, so I felt much has been left out. If you'd like to get a better feel for the kind of true-to-life examples of workplace "vices" and managerial traits that can eventually lead to ENRON, Worldcom etc., then I would like to suggest the real sharp satire, "MANAGEMENT BY VICE" by C.B. Don. It does have a sprinkling of hilarious pen&ink drawings, but it is the fast flowing text that is really worth reading and thinking about. Well, Dilbert has his famous place in the office and many cheers for that, but I believe that "Management By Vice" complements the Dilbert cartoons with a whole new, company-wide perspective...after all, you don't see the inside scoop on a grievance procedure or the meaning of the "Doughnut Deal" in the Dilbert series...and even the flippant Company CEO and his self-serving management staff are deservedly exposed!

128 pages of non-stop laughs!!
This is the 18th spectacular collection of stupidity, laughs, and weirdness. In this book, an amobia gets hired, and GASP, Dilbert gets fired (don't worry folks, it's only temporary)!! The motivation fairy visits Wally, who has made not working in the office a perfect art. In this book, Adams also introduces a new regular, Ming (female) the web designer.Dilbert still gets dates, though. These strips are the funniest.Scott Adams creates the perfect comics for people who have an office job, and people who don't (like me ,BWAHAHA!!!!). I strongly suggest that you buy this book.
