Dilbert

Anybody in here a fan of the dilbert comics?

I find them (most often) hillarious because there is so much truth in them - in fact Dilbert comics have been my project group (writing a major paper for school) trademark during the last couple of months

So - anybody else like Dilbert?

Well - seems Dilbert readers are a minority around here

Tobad - I love Dilbert, and we have posted them all over our walls in the room we work in at school

(some edited to fit our workdescription though

)

Yeah, Dilbert is ok.
I think most Dilbert readers are american though. Here in The Netherlands, it's only publisched in a newspaper... if memory serves me well that is.

Well - I get my daily dose from the offical website (dilbert.com), but besides that, only a few of his books are sold, here in Denmark, and no papers carry it as far as I've seen.

But yes - I think the comic is more directed at the american market, but much of the office humor fits so well in all offices around the world.

I know I've seen at least one "pointy haired" boss in my life, duing what seems to be random acts of management (as one of my comic books are called)

The Joy of Work is also one of the books (real books).

Actually quite funny, even with limited cartoons in it.

Random Acts of Management is a cartoon book wich I got.

Dilbert has always been a favourite of mine, more so now that I get the engineering and management jokes.

I do.

I've never been part of the rat race and after reading Dilbert I never want to be.

I'm sure Dilbert comics/books are sold in the UK (I can strongly recommend Scott Adams' "Dilbert/Dogbert" books).

The cartoon television show ran a few times on danish TV, but they took it down fast it seems, so they only showed maginal stuff.
I do find the comics and books much better then the TV show.
