Dilbert Turns 30

By Scott Adams

This thirtieth Anniversary edition includes new comics, an introduction from the author, and the most popular strips and storylines from the past decade.

“Evolution in a comic strip is rare, but to see elements of our culture folded seamlessly into one that people actually read and care about is even more impressive..” —Popzara

Thirty years ago, Dilbert burst onto the funny pages with a bleak, sardonic depiction of the modern workplace.

In the time since Dilbert’s launch in newspapers in 1989, it has become the most popular strip about office humor in history, a hilarious tonic for bored and oppressed business professionals, and a reliable source of laughter for comics fans everywhere.

Dilbert Turns 30 celebrates Scott Adams’s brilliant career with a new collection of comics and a personal introduction by the author. Also included is a bonus section featuring 50 of the most popular Dilbert comics from the past 10 years.

“Confined to their cubicles in a company run by idiot bosses, Dilbert and his white-collar colleagues make the dronelike world of Kafka seem congenial..” —The New York Times

“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

Reviews for Dilbert Turns 30

[writemoves · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Though I am not a fan of Scott Adams’s politics (he supports Trump), I always enjoy the Dilbert comics. As I have said before, reading Dilbert is a better education for business and management than a MBA.
