Product Description

Give Dilbert his due. He has managed to keep his sanity while being surrounded by a cast of characters that would make anyone else bolt for the nearest unemployment line. Wally is the office Houdini when it comes to escaping work, Alice regularly unleashes her Fist of Death, and their boss is a walking buzzword emitter. Together, they populate Dilbert, one of the funniest and truest comic strips around. On second thought, maybe it's not the paycheck that keeps Dilbert coming back. Maybe, like us, he sticks around for the laughs provided by this odd group in this too-familiar setting.

The Dilbert 2010 Day-to-Day Calendar features a full-color strip on each daily page.

Customer Reviews

A must for Dilbert fans
I buy this calendar each year. If you are a Dilbert fan, there is nothing better than starting off the day by reading the day's cartoon. The calendar does feature previously published material, but it is still funny and very fitting for anyone working in the corporate environment. The most difficult thing for me is to keep from looking ahead.

Brilliant for anyone who's ever worked in an office!
If you're new to Dilbert, he's a small guy who works in a highly bureaucratic white collar office. The comics satirize office politics beautifully. The humor is similar to the TV series The Office, but Dilbert was the original.

I give the Dilbert day-to-day calendar to my father every year for Christmas. He works in senior management and very much enjoys having a new Dilbert strip to read everyday and to share with his staff. When he goes away, he actually takes the pages that he is going to miss with him so that he doesn't miss reading any. He often saves hilarious and appropriate cartoons to give to my husband (who works in IT) or to me (I work in Marketing). If you work in an office environment - or have escaped from one! - this is a wonderful calendar.

While the day-to-day calendar has been around for a few years now, I was pleasantly surprised to see one change in this year's format: all the cartoon strips are now in color! Otherwise the layout and format is as per previous years. The inside pages are shrinkwrapped so they are well protected in transit to you.

The other thing I appreciate about the Dilbert calendars is that there is enough material to keep them fresh. Before Dilbert, I used to give my father a Farside day-to-day calendar, but after 3-4 years he noticed that some cartoons were repeating from previous years. So far this has not occurred with the Dilbert calendar. (The cartoons are also different from the ones that appear on the daily Dilbert on Dilbert.com) I highly recommend it.

The perfect cube for your cube
If you're new to Dilbert, he's a small guy who works in a highly bureaucratic engineering firm. The comics satirize office politics beautifully.

The 2010 Day to Day calendar is a small block of 365 dated comic strips, designed to be torn off on a daily basis. Each page is printed in color - the overall color scheme is green and purple. This year a new addition to the Day to Day calendar is the "daily extra" printed on the back of each page. Sometimes it's a small brain teaser (eg a sudoku puzzle, a word search or a maze). Or it might be a riddle, a joke, a piece of trivia or an inspiring quote. There are also occasional household hints. On the weekend pages there might be a template to write notes for the babysitter or just a blank space to jot notes.

Unlike previous years, the 2010 calendar is not internally shrinkwrapped, but it still arrived without damage.

I give the Dilbert day-to-day calendar to my father every year for Christmas. He very much enjoys having a new Dilbert strip to read everyday and often saves cartoons to pass onto others. If you work in an office environment - or have escaped from one! - this is a wonderful calendar.
