Editorial Reviews:

Maybe, just maybe, the reason Scott Adams is able to so completely and utterly skewer the absurdities of the modern workplace is that deep down he really enjoyed his many years as a cubicle dweller. Perhaps his comic strip Dilbert is nothing more than a cleverly disguised 17-year-long love letter to corporate America.

And maybe, just maybe, monkeys will fly out of Donald Trump's butt.

In Try Rebooting Yourself, AMP's 28th Dilbert collection, the world's most dysfunctional office family is back and doing what it does best. Wally adroitly steers clear of new assignments¿and perfects his "work grimace." The Pointy-Haired Boss (PHB) thinks of new ways to demoralize and disenfranchise his employees. (As part of a new strategy to make the pension plan solvent, he reminds employees "Smoking is cool.") Dogbert continues his lucrative consulting business. And Dilbert, alas, he soldiers and smolders on, searching for intelligent life in the corporate universe¿and maybe, just maybe, a little action. (Fat chance.)

This time out, the gang is joined by a host of odd (but strangely familiar) guest characters including the clueless Hammerhead Bob, and Petricia, the PHB's fawning but ferocious sycophant. All office workers may now nod knowingly.


Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Try rebooting

A compilation of the Dilbert comic strip for a 40 week period.
If you want all his comics from day 1, buy all the bound books, which is now up to #29.

4 out of 5 stars Dilbert is still striking!

It's indeed amazing to see how Scott Adams, after almost twenty Dilbert years, is still capable to make us laugh this way. Not a brainless laughter but an inteligent one and with the usual subtlety he always manages to put into his characters. I own many Dilbert books but this one has no repeated strips - just good plain humor. I loved it.

4 out of 5 stars Great book, hilarity ensues

Great dilbert collection. However it's on the thin side. I read the whole thing in one night. The stickers it comes worth aren't the best design. Would a dogbert sticker have been too much to ask?

5 out of 5 stars As wickedly funny as always

Featuring eight bonus stickers to liven up anyone's cubicle, Try Rebooting Yourself is cartoonist Scott Adams' latest compilation of Dilbert cartoons, which savagely mock and jeer corporate ineffectualness, human obnoxiousness, and the literally cutthroat (or shove-off-a-roof) competition of office politics. A special point of interest is a short series of strips in which Adams dares to break the fourth wall and draw himself into a few cartoons! As wickedly funny as always, Try Rebooting Yourself is the perfect dose of humor anywhere and anytime, but especially recommended as an inexpensive gift of gut-busting laughter for Secretary's Day, Boss' Day, or co-worker birthdays. "You know what two things are very similar? Unpaid overtime and death. They both deny me the pleasures of being alive."
