 Just Dilbert Jan 25, 2007
It really gives you a reason for laughs. Dilbert never lets me down on that matter.

 Fighting the daily grind Feb 23, 2004
Adams does it again. One wonders where he keeps finding all the ideas, and they are so right on. Dilbert plods his way through seemingly useless existence lost in cubic space while his dog and garbage man seem much wiser. Wally never does any work, and we learn of the "Wally period" where you wait to begin a project in case it is cancelled. Dogbert sells nuclear warheads to the Elbonians and pointy hair brings in a man-hating feminist to harass the troops. Catbert the evil HR director thinks up new ways to torment employees. Classic Dilbert at its best. Send a copy to your own pointy haired boss for any occasion.

A Chance Read Nov 14, 2003
Frankly speaking, Dilbert never been my fav Comic Strip and I usually preferred Archie, Betty, Jughead and Veronica next to the yester years Picture Mags 'Photo Romance' and 'Darling' which had cool pic stories. On net, I happened to subscribe Dilbert Dose a day comic strip in my Mail box and became a fan of Dilbert. Scott Adams books drew my attention and I 'Chance Read' this book "When Body Language Goes Bad" through a friend's collection. There's been a satirical humour with tip on iceberg you call - How to avoid work, outwit the boss and updating the readers on Dilbert's careers, projects, take over of companies that got mis-managed and team building excercises. For most of the employees, a Boss is the worst nightmare and there's this dump-loads of work piled up. The weasel ways comes in great handy tip to outwit the boss at critical hours and this book, even for a novice is good read and know the characters that play its roles. All a way into the workplace, the coworkers plots and the Boss's unscruplous ways. I've yet to read a lot of this stuff but this one's good for sure to begin with. A chance read yet a 'Good Read' and a 'Good Pick' too.

Everything`s back in "snafu" order.... Jun 20, 2003
The last 2-3 Adam`s Dilbert collections were lackin on edge somewhat. Not that you can ever go wrong by acquring a Dilbert comic but Adams has accustomed his readers to a very high niveau of humor.
"When body language goes bad" is a tremendous return to top form for the Dilbert creator.
New and very welcome twists take place as Dilbert gets downsized, the Pointy Haired Boss becomes an engineer (even if it is for just a day), Wally takes Asok under his wings to teach him his "deepest secrets" on how to avoid work, Dilbert`s mother adopts an even more caustic attitude than wè had seen her up to now, and of course Alice is as usual the aggro force of the corporate corridors.
Wally keeps stealing the show as usual and the Head of Human resources (or "livestock") comes up with new and improved ways to torture the already overtortured souls of the employees.
On a downside, as has been the case with almost all of Adams`last albums Dogbert and especially Ratbert (possibly the 2nd cultest character of the series) seem to have taken second stage.`
This is bizzare on one hand but understandable on the other as most of the Dilbert characters have a strong fan base but it`s also a fact that Dogbert is one of the driving forces of the comic. As for Ratbert, yes, it can be a personal preference thingie.
It`s probably getting boring to say "a must buy" for each new Dilbert publication, but, as the faithful know, it`s an addiction.
