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.

Customer Reviews

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.

Latest Dilbert Anthology
Once every few Dilbert collections, rather than just the new stuff, Adams issues a themed anthology of Dilbert stuff that collects together old cartoon strips under certain themes (his last one was Wally-focused!! - Book 27 in the series) - for the 30th book in the Dilbert collection, he chooses workplace cruelty, with each of the main characters having their own section. Yes, there are old strips that you will have seen before, but it is always interesting to see how the drawing and character development has come along over the years. Very funny, as always - even second/third time round. Recommended and great fun.

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.
