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.

Funny title

I got this one because the title rings so true. Just the cover is worth getting the entire book. This book contains cartoons from Dec 6/04 to Sept 11/05.

Another great Dilbert collection

Another Dilbert collection, another great Dilbert collection. Highly recommended, of course, if you work in an IT/IS/MIS department, or just in an office. They never get old, or out-of-date. Mr. Adams hasn't slowed down or backed off one bit - Ratbert the $100 million CEO-reject, multiple Wally updates, Dilbert and dating.... Another worthy addition to your Dilbert collection.
