Nothing here that really stands out, except for the week on pgs. 72-73 that features guest cartoonists. That's a good thing, by the way. "Dilbert" is consistently smart, funny, cynical... the only thing it isn't is well-drawn, which is actually kind of endearing. Adams has been doing this for a long time now, and his body of work should eventually get him into the Cartoonists Hall of Fame, if there is such a thing. (

Why is Dilbert such a phenomenon? People see their own dreary, monotonous lives brought to comedic life in the ubiquitous strip. In the 23rd collection of Scott Adams¿ tremendously popular series, Don¿t Stand Where the Comet Is Assumed to Strike Oil, suppressed and repressed workers everywhere can follow the latest developments in the so-called careers of Dilbert, power-hungry Dogbert, Catbert, Ratbert, the pointy-haired boss, and other supporting¿but don¿t you dare call them supportive¿characters. Each ¿funny because it¿s true¿ scenario bears an uncanny, hysterical, sometimes uncomfortable similarity to cubicle-filled corporate America. But the United States clearly hasn¿t cornered the market when it comes to drone-filled offices: Dilbert appears in 65 countries in 25 languages and in 2,000 newspapers. The strip has 150 million fans worldwide.
