I love Dilbert but I will stick with the comic books May 10, 2007
By Marc Bourassa I really enjoy Soctt Adams' "Dilbert" cartoon. I have a daily cartoon desktop calendar and I think I have most of his anthologies.
That said, I have to say I find the Dilbert books a bit much for my tastes. What comes across as sardonic wit in a short 3 panel strip weighs much more heavily in paragraph form.
This book may be best taken in really short doses - perhaps as "throne" reading. As it was, I received the audio version as a gift and listened to it straight through over a few days of commuting and Scott came off as being bitter and vindictive rather than as pithy and ingenuous.
Also, I have to say, I think the audio format would benefit from the use of someone other than the author reading it. While it was most interesting to hear what Mr. Adams sounds like, I don't think he does his own work justice by trying to present it as well. I'm not sure if this would make much difference of my opinion of the content, but it certainly couldn't hurt.

Laugh your way through your struggles with others May 16, 2003
By Charles Ashbacher This tape is hilarious in the truest sense of the Dilbert comic strip. The best humor has roots in reality, and all of us can find elements of the strip that relates to our jobs, unless of course you are a pointy haired manager. A weasel is someone who takes as long as possible to do as little as possible, will always engage in CYA, will kiss a lot of A, and always agree with anyone in a position of superiority. Having this many different characteristics, the weasel can take on many forms, so it is difficult to ferret out who is a true weasel versus someone who just appears to be one. This tape will not help you identify one, but it will help you to tolerate one. I enjoyed the tape, occasionally laughing, but often grimacing at humerous stories that simultaneously hit my funny bone and other sensitive spots.
