Dilbert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dilbert portrays corporate culture as a Kafkaesque world of bureaucracy for its own sake and office politics that stand in the way of productivity, where employees' skills and efforts are not rewarded, and busy work praised. A larger number of Dilbert comic strips reflects general frustration with the bureaucratic administration at the company, whereas a generally satisfied workforce sees less identification with the character of Dilbert, and consequently fewer Dilbert comic strips are displayed as mementoes. Dilbert was named the best syndicated strip of 1997 in the Harvey Awards and won the Max and Moritz Prize as best international comic strip for 1998. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dilbert   (2884 words)

SALON: Hero of a Thousand Workspaces Dilbert is a bespectacled bucket-head with a perpetually upturned tie and a pocket-protector worn as a coat of arms. Dilbert came into his own as the digital age's Everygeek -- a Good Soldier Schweyk just trying to survive the corporate trenches while mad generals led suicide charges against phantom foes. Dilbert's human colleagues are most often found running around like little windup toys with arms outstretched, or occasionally surrounded by concentric vibration lines as if in the throes of slow-motion electrocution -- as in the banner screen of "Dilbert's" phenomenally popular Web site. www.salon.com /weekly/dilbert960603.html   (1279 words)

Dilbert’s Ultimate Home  Dilbert’s “great room” is his relaxation  area with a two-sided fireplace.  This is where Dilbert brings the Christmas tree each year and  plugs it into a special floor outlet installed expressly for that purpose. Dilbert figures that when he has kids, the quiet room will be a great place for them to be seen but not heard. Dilbert cleverly designed and built his house before getting married, so his workshop is inside the air conditioned space, adjacent to his home office. recenter.tamu.edu /news/12-1104.html   (783 words)

LP News May 1999 - The great 'Net debate: Is Dilbert a libertarian? That "official" judgment was rendered after an innovative Internet debate over whether the Dilbert comic strip -- which focuses on the trials and tribulations of Dilbert, a high-tech office worker, and his sardonic pet, Dogbert -- is libertarian or liberal. The rules of the debate were simple: Lott and Burlingame each contributed an opening essay arguing their case, were allowed to ask and respond to three questions from their opponent, and then submitted a closing rebuttal/summation. When his turn comes, Burlingame valiantly fights back, arguing that Dilbert is actually a "left-wing, pro-labor cartoon." He also rejects Lott's definition of a libertarian, writing: "I have my own definition of a libertarian, which is a person who does not think the Republican Party is mean enough." www.lp.org /lpn/9905-Dilbert.html   (817 words)

Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Dilbert Dilbert began syndication from United Feature Syndicate (Ferd'nand, Twin Earths) in 1989, and immediately struck a responsive chord with office workers at every level. Dilbert merchandise isn't very popular with the kids, but adults, who can relate to the style of workplace it depicts, buy scads of desk calendars, pocket protectors and other office supplies with his picture on them. The art style in Dilbert is comics' most minimalist since Barnaby and The Little King — but whereas that was a creative choice for Crockett Johnson and O. Soglow (creators of those toons), with Dilbert it's because Scott Adams basically doesn't draw very well. www.toonopedia.com /dilbert.htm   (452 words)

Dilbert's a weasel and so are you - Salon "Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel." Those corporate bad boys like Enron CFO Andrew Fastow are just the top of the weasel pyramid, having perfected the slippery backstabbing that all of us exhibit in our smaller-scale, sniveling, pathetic ways. In the boom years, when spending more time with your co-workers than your family was considered a point of pride, not a sign of lifestyle psychosis, "Dilbert" spoofed the work culture that seemed to gobble up ever more hours. And, during that dot-com bubble, when geeks were chic, Dilbert was our iconic geek anti-hero. www.salon.com /tech/feature/2002/10/21/dilbert/index.html   (513 words)

CNN.com - Scott Adams: Dilbert's Ultimate Cubicle - August 28, 2001 Scott Adams -- creator of "Dilbert" and one of the most avidly read cartoonists in the career universe -- has always made his e-mail address available. The leader of the IDEO project team for Dilbert's Ultimate Cubicle is designer Fred Dust. "Dilbert" devotees, however, need not worry that Adams has had such a good time and created such a cushy cube that he's forgotten their pain. www.cnn.com /2001/CAREER/jobenvy/08/28/dilbert.scott.adams/index.html   (1364 words)

The Comics Curmudgeon » Dilbert Also funny: the fact that Dogbert has, in the time it took Dilbert to screw up a job interview, been able to not only win the lottery, but transform his winnings into burlap sacks of cash (with dollar signs on the sides, natch). Also, apparently the fact that Ziggy is lying on a couch and talking to a bearded man in a suit with a notepad doesn’t convey psychiatry clearly enough to the unwashed masses, because there’s a little sign to that effect hanging in the background. Dilbert or another sympathetic character responds with a cynical yet keen and cutting observation revealing the evil and/or stupidity of his/her superior. joshreads.com /?cat=15   (1377 words)

Metroactive Books | Dilbert Bashing Dilbert mocks the "induhviduals" who keep a man from doing his job, but on the larger issues of corporate malfeasance, Adams is mute. Dilbert's wistful grousing about badly run companies is, as Solomon suggests, a safety valve that doesn't release any real pressure. Considering the use of Dilbert in employee manuals for Intel, Xerox and Lockheed, This Modern World cartoonist Tom Tomorrow (who contributed the foreword to Solomon's book) has proposed the next step: a Dilbert@termination notice to take the sting out of a layoff. www.metroactive.com /papers/metro/12.04.97/comics-9749.html   (818 words)

Amazon.ca: Dilbert: The Complete Series: DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) Dilbert – the most popular comic strip of the decade – is now on DVD. With his signature turned-up tie, round glasses and buzz cut, Dilbert is already a pop culture phenomenon, providing an irreverent reference point for workers everywhere.

BookPage Nonfiction Review: Dilbert Two of them, "The Dilbert Principle" and "Dogbert's [Top Secret] Management Handbook" are found in the Business rather than the Humor section of my local library -- an early sign of the oddly exulted place Dilbert occupies in our culture. And these predictions are not mere assertions but are supported by almost-logical commentary of Adams' own fabrication, by strange-but true anecdotes sent to him in the more than 350 e-mail messages he receives (and apparently reads) daily, or, best of all, by the slanted accuracy of his daily cartoon panels. Not surprisingly, the Dilbert future is a place in which stupidity reigns supreme. www.bookpage.com /9706bp/nonfiction/thedilbertfuture.html   (541 words)

Floor Management Netwerk - Goeroes - Dilbert Scott Adams is de geestelijke vader van de strip Dilbert, die wereldwijd in meer dan 1500 publicaties verschijnt, waaronder Intermediair.

In Dilbert komt iedere keer kritiek op drie thema's terug: de steeds grote wordende obsessie rond werk, de vele manieren waarop bazen hun personeel eronder proberen te houden en de groeiende ergernis over steeds maar meer managementsnufjes. www.floor.nl /management/dilbert.html   (308 words)

Scott Adams, Drawing the Line Those two hours take him from initial pencil sketch to the final inking of such beloved miscreants as Dogbert, the evil management consultant, who emerges from the pen in "one unbroken smooth line" that extends from his nose to his tail, Adams said. Adams was diagnosed with the condition -- a neurological movement disorder, marked by involuntary muscle spasms--back in 1992, around the time he launched "Dilbert." The problem affects his right hand -- the one he uses to draw. Only his very closest followers may have noticed subtle differences in recent strips -- like Dilbert's too-skinny arm and oversized nose -- while the cartoonist was mastering the new technique. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/content/article/2005/05/09/AR2005050901066.html   (1551 words)

Pharyngula::Scott Adams is a Wally I suppose you have to realise that Dilbert is a comic popular amongst office workers, accountants, and the like - people with no knowledge of science and people who are probably Republicans and therefore likely to be anti-science and judge-sides based on rhetoric. I remember reading in "The Dilbert Future" about how he thinks gravity could just be an illusion and everything is just rapidly doubling in size. Yes, I've always enjoyed Dilbert comics (I swear Scott Adams knows my ex-boss) but I have read a few of Adams' "philosophications", including the chapter that Constantine mentioned, and I think his brilliance as a cartoonist is no reflection of his brilliance as a thinker in general terms. pharyngula.org /index/weblog/comments/scott_adams_is_a_wally#comments   (2893 words)
