Problem Identified

Dogbert begins his new career as a consultant, putting Pointy-Haired Boss’s methods under the microscope in this 34th Dilbert comic strip collection. Cartoonist Scott Adams affectionately ridicules inept office colleagues—those coworkers behind the pointless projects, interminable meetings, and ill-conceived “downsizings”—in this thematically linked collection of Dilbert comic strips. Dilbert, the benchmark of office humor, continues to use its considerable powers for the greater good, helping us to fight the good fight at work despite those around us whose job descriptions seem to include undercutting morale and generally doing everything possible to lead us into economic ruin. “Once every decade, America is gifted with an angst-ridden anti-hero, a Nietzschean nebbish, an us-against-the-universe everyperson around whom our insecurities collect like iron shavings to a magnet. Charlie Chaplin. Dagwood Bumstead. Charlie Brown. Cathy. Now, Dilbert.” —The Miami Herald
