Still Pumped from Using the Mouse

Right up there with "Clues For The Clueless", "Shave the Whales", and "Bring Me the Head of Willie The Mailboy", this is one of the funniest of Scott Adams's Dilbert books. An excellent blend of the just generally silly (Ratbert gets lost in a hole in the fabric of space) and social commentary (a little girl gets help from Bob the dinosaur punishing adults who are ruining the world by giving them wedgies), there's a chuckle in here for every mood.

This book is a classic compilation of comic strips in the days that were not so focused on business. Dogbert can be seen more than the current strips doing other things besides consulting, and a glimpse of Dilbert's personal life is seen. Alice, Catbert, and Asok were not characters yet, and the boss hadn't been quite fully developed, but getting there. However, the pointy-haired boss is still a main and hillarious character, along with Dilbert's lazy colleague, Wally, and the many annoying co-workers that fill up the office.

"Dilbert" lovers will see more of Scott Adams' comic commentary on the lives of technical personnel, the marketing group, management and everyone else in the work culture. As always, Dilbert and his circle of socially-handicapped peers in the technical profession live absurd ways at work and lead boring lives elsewhere. The pun and punch is when the characters seem to do or say something wrong and a problem occurs, and what they resort to in response is usually impractical or otherworldly, almost always hilarious and downright funny. It's a great show-- how Adams half-despises people, half-worships his dog, and half-murders members of the rodentia family. Beyond that, it's all for laughs.

Still Pumped From using the mouse by: Scott Adams is one of his funnier books. That is all
