Product Description
Give Dilbert his due. He has managed to keep his sanity while being surrounded by a cast of characters that would make anyone else bolt for the nearest unemployment line. Wally is the office Houdini when it comes to escaping work, Alice regularly unleashes her Fist of Death, and their boss is a walking buzzword emitter. Together, they populate Dilbert, one of the funniest and truest comic strips around. On second thought, maybe it's not the paycheck that keeps Dilbert coming back. Maybe, like us, he sticks around for the laughs provided by this odd group in this too-familiar setting.

About the Author What started as a doodle has turned Scott Adams into a superstar of the cartoon world. Dilbert debuted on the comics page in 1989 while Adams was working in the tech department at Pacific Bell. Adams continued to work at Pacific Bell until he was voluntarily downsized in 1995. He has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1979.
The Dilbert 2010 Day-to-Day Calendar features a full-color strip on each daily page.
The perfect cube for your cube If you're new to Dilbert, he's a small guy who works in a highly bureaucratic engineering firm. The comics satirize office politics beautifully. The 2010 Day to Day calendar is a small block of 365 dated comic strips, designed to be torn off on a daily basis. Each page is printed in color - the overall color scheme is green and purple. This year a new addition to the Day to Day calendar is the "daily extra" printed on the back of each page. Sometimes it's a small brain teaser (eg a sudoku puzzle, a word search or a maze). Or it might be a riddle, a joke, a piece of trivia or an inspiring quote. There are also occasional household hints. On the weekend pages there might be a template to write notes for the babysitter or just a blank space to jot notes. Unlike previous years, the 2010 calendar is not internally shrinkwrapped, but it still arrived without damage. I give the Dilbert day-to-day calendar to my father every year for Christmas. He very much enjoys having a new Dilbert strip to read everyday and often saves cartoons to pass onto others. If you work in an office environment - or have escaped from one! - this is a wonderful calendar.
