Cubes and Punishment: A Dilbert Book

Thinking Inside the Box

Appearing in over 2,000 newspapers in 65 countries, Scott Adams' Dilbert has been lifting the spirits of cubicle-dwellers around the world for 18 years. Scott's latest collection, Cubes and Punishment (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $16.95), proves that Dilbert still has what it takes to lampoon the drudgery of the corporate environment.

This time around, Dilbert, Wally, Alice, and the rest of the gang continue to struggle against the Pointy-Haired Boss, ignorant co-workers, and occasionally the cubicles themselves. Typical problems like paper jams and project delays become "unusual workplace cruelty" in this comically exaggerated world. With obstacles ranging from shrinking cubicles to management-assigned electric-shock collars, Dilbert and his co-workers must use their well-cultivated sense of apathy to keep their sanity.

Scott Adams once again manages to boost workplace morale, proving that the office can be a place of laughter—even if it means laughing at the office itself. His quick-witted jabs at upper management and sardonic observations on mundane office environments are just as applicable today as they were 18 years ago. Whether new to the 9 to 5 life or a seasoned veteran, any member of the modern workforce will enjoy the outrageous humor of Cubes and Punishment.
